(On his expectations for the race at Michigan, one of his favorite tracks)
“Michigan is a wide, fast racetrack with several different grooves to race on. I’ve always enjoyed running there in the past, in several different divisions, and each time we’ve run this particular car we’ve gotten progressively better results. I’m looking forward to making another step forward at this type of racetrack and trying to gain some points on some guys.”
