Biffle on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“We’ve always run pretty well at Kansas both in the Busch and Cup Series. Last year we finished third in the Cup race at Kansas but led several laps and felt like we had a good shot at the win. I like racing at Kansas, it’s a nice facility and the track suits my driving style. As always, track position will be important so we’ll look to qualify well and stay up front. We had some rough luck at Talladega and Kansas could be the race that gets us back on track.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Kansas Speedway:
"We’re taking chassis RK 239 to Kansas this weekend. It’s the same car that we won with at Michigan earlier this year. It was one of the cars damaged at the Charlotte test but we rebuilt it because it is one of Greg’s favorite cars. It runs really well on intermediate tracks and we expect this to be a strong race for us. Last year we had to pit late for fuel but Greg made his way back up to third and had been a contender for the win all day."
