What is the key to being successful at Michigan? “I really enjoy racing at Michigan. You can race from the white line to the wall. You can get your car to pretty much work anywhere on the race track. However, Michigan is one of those places that you need the entire package to compete for the win. Being successful has a lot to do with the horsepower you have under the hood and how well you can get your car to handle all over the race track.”

When can you start running the high line at Michigan? “Well, Michigan is a little different than most tracks. You can run from the white line to the wall on the first lap if you want to. At tracks like Chicago and Kansas, you have to slowly creep up the race track and wait until rubber builds to make your way up near the wall. At Michigan, you can go right to the wall on lap one or lap 100. It really doesn’t matter.”
