ANNOUCEMENT FRIDAY

DOVER RECAP

While Larson is driving the ParkerStore Chevrolet Camaro this weekend, Brennan Poole was behind the wheel of the DC Solar Chevrolet Camaro two weeks ago in Dover. Poole started 18th and, within the first half of the race, made his way into the top 15. Poole was the beneficiary of a free pass back onto the lead lap early in the race. Within the final 50 laps of the race, Poole began to run some of his fastest laps of the day and fought his way up to 12th. This marked Poole’s fifth top-15 finish in eight XFINITY Series starts.

LARSON ON MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

“Michigan is a fast track that usually has multiple grooves, which is good for us as drivers. It’s one of my favorite tracks. Qualifying will be key because the race typically has long green-flag runs, so starting up front will be important. I am very excited to be back behind the wheel of an XFINITY Series car, especially with ParkerStore on the side this weekend.”

CREW CHIEF MIKE SHIPLETT ON MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

“Michigan is a challenging track. Races tend to have long green-flag runs with very few cautions. Fuel mileage will be important since the pace of the race is really fast. Since the track is so wide, you will see multiple-groove racing once the tires wear out. Everybody wants to do well in their auto manufacturer’s backyard, so the key will be finding the balance between straightaway speed and handling.”
