Sarah Fisher on the Milwaukee Mile:
“I’ve never been to Milwaukee before so being that it is my first time, there isn’t a lot of run time or practice time on the schedule for the weekend so having Buddy (Rice) has a teammate will help a lot there. Having him will be a really big asset for me to provide feedback about where to start, where the line is, etc. I’m really looking forward to going there. It’s a real tradition race to follow the Indy 500 so it will be neat for us. Supposedly it’s a driver’s track; I get along really well with Richmond so hopefully it will be the same.”
