Biffle on Michigan:
“I love Michigan, it’s my favorite track to go to and is a great track for Roush. I’m undefeated in the Truck series, two races, two wins and four wins in the Cup series. We ran so good there in the spring and we’ve got the same aero package going back. It’s just one of those race tracks that I love the way it’s laid out. I love the speed of it. Hopefully we can improve on it a little bit from the spring and we feel good about our chances of winning.”
