Jamie McMurray on Michigan:

“Fast, is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Michigan Speedway. That and wide-open racing with all the grooves. Michigan is so wide and the track offers a lot of room to find a groove that works good for however the car is handling. We have had a run of about five or six straight top-10 finishes there. I feel like our cars have been getting better and hopefully we can keep the momentum going after a strong weekend last week.”
