JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:

"I'm looking forward to Michigan. The track is very similar to California Speedway and we had a great run and finish there earlier this year. We're taking the same car we ran at Fontana, and it's the same car we've had all of our good runs in this year. Michigan's been a good track for me in the past, and I think I still hold the qualifying record in the Truck Series at Michigan. Michigan's one of those places that you can race three wide and if your car's hooked up, you can move to the front no matter where you start."

"We're coming off a disappointing run last weekend in Pocono and I think everyone on this Havoline team is looking forward to Michigan knowing we're taking the same car that we almost won with at Fontana this year. It should be a good weekend for us."
