ELLIOTT SADLER QUOTES:
“I definitely think we are going to be better this Michigan then the last Michigan. I think we’ve gotten our bodies a lot better. We’re learning some new things about this new tire, specifically the left side tire that we have in Michigan this year compared to last year. I think we are definitely going to be more competitive.
“Michigan has been good to me in the past. It was cool to go there last year and sit on the outside pole and get my first top 10 with the team (Gillett Evernham Motorsports) on the first race out. It’s kind of a one year anniversary for us. We want to go up there and be strong and improve on what we think we learned at Indy with the 2006 package and go from there.”
