Biffle on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“We had a really good test at Michigan after Indy and based on how we ran there earlier this year I’m definitely excited about going to Michigan. Michigan is home to Roush Industries and Ford, so it’s always fun to race there. We’ll try and get our 3M Ford back in victory lane.”
Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“Michigan is always a special place since it’s in Jack’s backyard. We had a good tire test there after Indy and the race earlier this season went really well for us. We plan on taking what we learned from the tire test and improving on our fourth-place finish from the spring. Hopefully we’ll leave Michigan with our second win of the season.”
