Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Michigan:

“Michigan is a track that Roush Fenway, Ford, and Jack (Roush) have had a lot of success. With this being the home track for Ford and Roush Industries, we always want to have a strong showing. I think we will see a race similar to Kansas this weekend. We have made gains with our intermediate program this year. Hopefully we can have a solid run this weekend for NOS Energy’s first race back with us.”
