Tell us a little bit about what you’re looking forward to heading back to Detroit in a couple of weeks as the defending champion of the event.Ricky Taylor: “It’s nice always to come to Detroit. It’s such an iconic event, especially when you come here with a GM product, and to be racing in Cadillac is always, firstly a little bit of pressure, but secondly, a big opportunity to win on home soil. It’s a big weekend for GM and for the team. So, we’re really excited. The track is challenging. We had a great race last year, but so many things can happen here in just 100 minutes. But we’ll try to repeat the success we had last year and send ourselves for a good lead up to Le Mans.” Jordan will be making his 180th MSA start and is a five-time winner at Dedtroit. How are you going to make more fond memories here in a couple of weeks?Jordan Taylor: “It would be nice to make some more good memories there.
