Jimmie Johnson on racing at Michigan
“It’s good to be heading back to Michigan. We had the craziest luck over the last six or seven races. Although we’ve only won here once, it’s been a very strong track for the No. 48 and there is a lot of room on this race track. We are looking forward to this weekend.”
