Biffle on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“Michigan is definitely one of my favorite racetracks. There’s a lot of room for passing and good racing. We’ve had a lot of success there in both the Cup and Busch series, so barring anything out of the ordinary, I feel confident about this weekend. We’re obviously not happy as a team about our performance the last time we were at Michigan. The team is working well together and we’re gaining positions on pit road every week, so if we can just get the setup where it needs to be this weekend, it should be a good one for us.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“We’re taking the car we ran earlier this year at Indy and we think we should be able to run well with it this weekend at Michigan. We missed the setup a little the last time we were at Michigan, so we’ve been working really hard to make changes in the right direction before we get to the track. This car is one of the best in the fleet and I think that if we can get started on the right foot this weekend, Greg can see the kind of success at Michigan that he has in the past.”
