Biffle on Michigan:

“I love Michigan. It’s been a good track for us.  We didn’t run we’ll there in the spring, but we’ve learned some stuff since then.  We have an opportunity to run well since we were decent at Indy and this is the same package.  Personally I like the lower downforce package, but since we did pretty well at Indy I feel like we’ll be good this weekend.”

Puccia on Michigan:

“Michigan is a track we’ve had some success at in the past.  There are some unknowns going into this weekend with the new aero package and that will bring its own challenge.  I think we’ll see lots of close racing and some pack racing similar to Daytona.”
