Brad Keselowski on how the spoiler affected the cars in the first race at Michigan
"I think the new spoiler affects us everywhere we go, with the exception of a Martinsville. It certainly made a difference in the first race at Michigan. The draft was a little bigger than normal. I think the racing through the corners was some of the best that we've seen. The overall top speed is slower, but the corner speed and grip is higher. It will be interesting to see how much we learned from that first race that we can apply as we go back a second time. I know that it's been something we've really placed an emphasis on because I'm sure that racing will change again, for the better."
Brad Keselowski on whether he supports a style change to the current Cup Series car
"There has been a lot of talk about changing the styling of the Cup car to match what we now have in the Nationwide Series. I think all of the drivers would enjoy seeing a style change to get back to the days when the manufacturers had more identity. In my opinion it would be great for the sport. 'What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday' is a slogan that helped build NASCAR to where it is today. Fans would be able to really get behind their manufacturer. Hopefully, they will get behind Dodge."
Crew chief Jay Guy on preparing for the second race at Michigan International Speedway
"We have been working really hard on our mile-and-a-half program recently and I'm confident that we'll see the fruits of that labor this weekend. We are bringing our best car to Brad and Roger's home track and I feel like the mechanical and aerodynamic balance is really well-suited for Michigan. The transition to the spoiler has leveled the playing field a bit in the Cup Series. It's something that we've paid extra attention to over the last few weeks -- really since the first Michigan race -- to better understand what Brad needs so that we can put him in position to run up front."
