One Year Ago at Michigan

Biffle on Michigan:

“I don’t know what it is about Michigan, but it’s one of my favorite tracks 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.  It’s just one of those race tracks that I love the way it’s laid out.  I love the speed of it.  It’s always a strategy race and those are the things I love about Michigan and I can’t wait to race there this weekend.”
