Team Chevy Is Ready for Michigan

George Moore said “A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”  The drivers and teams in the Chevrolet camp certainly are living this quote in recent weeks.  Team Chevy has been on the cusp of traveling to Victory Lane over the last few weeks at different venues across the United States, only to have their efforts dashed by pit strategy, fuel mileage, or unforeseen on-track incidents. As the series travels back to the home state of Chevrolet World Headquarters stationed in Detroit, Michigan, the Bowtie Brand and its associates hope this journey…
