NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series: NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge, Saturday at 9 pm (EDT)

Team: No. 16 National Guard Ford Taurus
Crew Chief: Doug Richert
Chassis: RK-195 (Primary for Texas earlier this year.)
Greg Biffle on the All-Star Challenge:
“I’m looking forward to the All-Star Challenge for several reasons. First of all, the National Guard team is incredible this season and I think we’ve got a decent chance to win this one. The car we’re taking was the primary for Texas and it’s faster than the backup we won with that weekend. It’s another night race and the format makes it even more exciting for the fans. There’s a lot of money on the line and that also makes for some pretty good racing.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on the All-Star Challenge:
“We’re taking the car we took as the primary to Texas. We’ve fixed it and believe it will be even faster than the backup we won with. Going into the All-Star race, you can take it a little more aggressively but you don’t want to vary too much from what you would do in a points race because you can learn a lot to help your team out for the 600.”
