Quote
“I don’t know much about Michigan (International Speedway) really. I’ll lean pretty heavy on my teammates though this weekend, especially with the amount of experience Johnny (Sauter) has there. I’m looking forward to it. Lately I don’t seem to have much luck so hopefully we can turn that around this weekend. This is the first time that we have ChargeCords.com onboard the truck, so I really want to get them a good finish.”
