Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I’m happy to be going back to Michigan. We didn’t run nearly as well there the first time as we should have, but we have some good ideas on what was wrong and what we can fix. Hopefully, we can have a real good run this time up in Michigan. I’m really looking forward to going back to Michigan since we have already raced there once before this year as a team.”
