“Overall, these last few weeks have had some really solid racing and solid speed in our Champion Power Equipment Ford F-150. I feel good about the truck we brought here. We went with (Crew Chief) Jeff Hensley’s gut feeling on a few things. I didn’t quite agree with it, but he had some serious reason, and it ended up being the right decision. It’s my third time at Michigan in a truck, and this is the best truck I’ve had here. Other than the fender, I think we had the best truck here today. If we had a track position at the end, I don’t think they could have gotten around us. I’m really proud of the effort, and really proud of what we have been doing these last few months.”
