Ford Racing at the 3M Performance 400

After a series of poor, or rather unlucky performance in the past NASCAR Nextel Cup races, Ford Racing drivers finally obtained their spot in the top 10 placers during the recent 3M Performance 400 that took place at the Michigan International Raceway (MIS).

The race was dominated by Dodge driver Kurt Busch, and followed by two Chevrolet drivers Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson. Matt Kenseth finished the race aboard his
No. 17 DeWalt Ford Fusion and finished in the 4th place.

Kenseth commented about the race: "I hit the wall a little bit early, chasing Kurt around, and he got sideways up there and I kind of lost track of where I was at and bumped the fender in. They're just so aero-sensitive that we could never quite get that fixed and get that back. But, overall, we had a good car all day and I made that mistake and took us out of a chance to win." About the car, Kenseth said: "We just made some small changes, and we finally had it right right before I hit the wall and it kind of went downhill from there."

Anyway, check out what the other Ford Racing drivers said after the race in recent 3M Performance 400 race.

Greg Biffle, No. 16 3M Ford Fusion (19th)

"The car was just too loose -- too much spring in the back, or something. I got my car just way too loose, mechanical chassis-wise, and we weren't just able to recover all day. It was unfortunate. We just could never get it back. It was too loose -- that's what it all boils down to."

David Ragan,No. 6 AAA Insurance Ford Fusion (finished 18th)

"It's been a few races since we've been the best rookie. So, that's a good day today. I feel like we lost a little bit those last two re-starts. It took our car a few laps to get rolling. Our car was really, really fast all day, but we just off a little bit there at the end. Like I said, I feel like we lost three or four spots that we shouldn't have. But, all in all, an excellent day for the AAA Ford, and a top-20 gets some more points and a good way to head into Bristol."
