Biffle on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“I always say that Michigan is one of my favorite racetracks. I’ve had a lot of success at that track in all three series and I enjoy the racing there. There’s plenty of room for good side-by-side racing and passing. We’re going back in the direction of the body style we’ve run so well with there and I think that is the right move for us.
We’ve got to do everything we can to make up as many points as we can over the next four weeks.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“We’re taking the same car we raced at both Pocono races earlier this summer. We’ve made a few changes to the body to make it a little more like the style we’ve run at Michigan in the past. We obviously need flawless runs in the next four races to even consider making the chase but the fortunate thing is that we know we can run well at all four tracks. We’ll just have to be at the top of our game.”
