TY DILLON QUOTE:
You showed a lot of speed last week in Pocono. How will you keep the momentum this weekend in Michigan?
“Last week was good. Our No. 33 Chevrolet SS ran well and we even got a little taste of the top 10 there for a little while. It’s a testament to our team and how hard they work week in and week out. Slugger (Labbe, crew chief) has really helped me along the way and has kept me focused. This week, we’re going to try to keep the momentum going. For these Sprint Cup Series races, you have to stay focused every lap – no mistakes. I’m looking forward to this weekend’s challenge in the Quicken Loans 400.”
