Biffle on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol under the lights is incredible. It’s a great race for the fans and it’s a fun race as a driver. We can come out of there with a good finish if we don’t get caught up in any accidents. If we can stay out of the mess, I think we can get a top-five finish and be a contender for the win.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"We’re taking the car we ran at the second Pocono because it has good balance, good wind tunnel numbers and good ground clearance. The fact that it’s a night race is not a huge factor at Bristol because it is a concrete track and the surface temperature doesn’t vary that much from day to night. Practicing in the day and racing at night will be more of a factor at Richmond where the surface temperature change is more drastic."
