Good morning racefans!  The NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers and and teams are in the Irish Hills of Michigan and are excited to  compete in the 45th Annual Quicken Loans 400 race in today.

The last time they were here, Greg Biffle was one happy guy.  The defending winner of THIS race is Dale Earnhardt Jr.  Will he defend his win today?  Time will tell. 

I thought I'd take a look at who I feel will make the top-10 today and what they have to say about racing at Michigan International Speedway.

Greg Biffle is always strong here it seems so I think I'll leave him in the top-10 but I think his teammate - Carl Edwards may one-up him today.
Biffle's comments about his qualifying and the race on Sunday (he will start 19th): “We really don’t know what is going to happen because of the early draw for us. I think the lap was decent. I told Matt (Puccia) we could have been a tenth or two better knowing how the car drove if I had to do it over again. That sure doesn’t help us though. The 20 beat us pretty good already and I have a feeling we will have a tough time staying in the top-20 for qualifying. There are a lot of cars to go and everybody has to do it and as long as it doesn’t cool off too much between now and the end of the session. We will work on it tomorrow for race trim and see what we’ve got for Sunday.”
