Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Michigan:

“Michigan is a track that Roush Fenway, Ford, and Jack (Roush) have had a lot of success. With this being the home track for Ford and Roush Industries, we always want to have a strong showing. I’m really looking forward to this weekend. We’ve been working really hard on our intermediate program so this will give us an opportunity to see if we have made any gains. Last time Fifth Third Bank was on the car, it ended up in victory lane so maybe we can have the same result this weekend.”
