Greg Biffle on racing at Chicago:
“This should be a good track for us and we’re taking the car we won with at California and Texas. It’s a good downforce car and I like the way it handles. We’ve had some good runs in Chicago but the stats just don’t show it. We’ve hit on something this season though with type of racetrack and I feel very confident heading to Chicago this weekend.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Chicago:
“We’re taking chassis number 275, which is the car we won with at Texas and California. It’s a good downforce car and it runs well pretty much anywhere we take it. Greg likes the car and it handles well, so we decided to take it to Chicago. We haven’t had stellar finishes there but we’ve had decent runs, so we’ll take our notes from last year and just work with what we’ve learned so far this season about the new aero package. It should be a good race for us.”
