@Dakoda Armstrong looks to continue climbing the point standings in the Irish Hills at @Michigan International Speedway.

“I’m looking forward to being back to the racetrack this weekend. Michigan is fun place to race. It’s a fast, wide track with a lot of grip. It’s one of the few tracks where we can carry the throttle deep into the corner. The groove has opened up since the repave, so I think we’ll see more passing than we did in this race last year. I really enjoy racing here. This team has run well over the past couple weeks, and we want to improve on last year’s results. It would be awesome to leave with our best finish of the year and move up another couple spots in the points.”
