Larry Foyt on Michigan:
"After a rough race last week, I'm really looking forward to
Michigan. I've competed twice there in the Busch Series,
qualifying fifth in 2001.
"It's really wide, which allows room for clean racing. It's also
a multi-groove track, which allows drivers to search for the
fastest way through the turns depending on how their car is
handling. Although it may not look like it on television,
Michigan is a very fast track."
