Biffle on racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
“Racing at Indy is always exciting and this year we’re taking the car we won with in Michigan, so I’m ready to get there and get back to racing. We tested this car at Indy a few weeks ago and we feel like it will be the best car for us this weekend. It would mean a lot to win at Indy because of the racing history there and I think we’ve got a chance at it.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
"We’re taking the car we won with in Michigan earlier this year. We tested it at Indy a few weeks ago and feel pretty good about taking it back for the race. We had a pretty good run there last year, so we’ve got something to build on for this time around. As far as the ‘Race to the Chase’ goes, I think we’ve got a pretty good cushion but we’ve still got to get out there and win races. We can’t let our guard down because if we have three or four bad races between now and the ‘Chase’, we could be out of it."
