Michigan will be the largest race track we have been to with John on board and I know he has a lot of knowledge that should be helpful. Our race last year was real tough, the steering box on the race car was off from the time we unloaded and we never could seem to get the car to turn right. I guess for a rookie, to run all but one lap wasn't bad, but I expect better results this weekend." "A lot of my guys are from Michigan, I even lived in Grand Rapids while I was racing in my last few years of ASA. It sounds like all the guys have invited their parents to the race and I know how important it is to look good in front of your parents. I am going to do my best to make all the guys proud of their effort this weekend." PIT NOTES - Glenn Allen's father, Glenn Sr., raced an ASA race at Michigan International Speedway. - Luxaire will host 300 guests in the hospitality village prior to the race. Glenn Allen will make a visit to the tent to sign autographs and visit with Luxaire customers. - Michigan is the home state to four members of The Luxaire Racing Team.
