Greg Biffle on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We tested in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago and feel pretty good about the car we’re taking. It’s a new car but it is similar to the car we won with in Texas. Our tire blow-out in the All-Star race is a little concerning. We’ll have to figure out what caused that and make sure it doesn’t happen again but other than that, I feel pretty confident with the car we’re taking. It should be a good race for us.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We tested this car a couple of weeks ago here in Charlotte and it was the faster of the two we tested. The blown tire in the All-Star race is a concern and we are working very hard to make sure that doesn’t happen this weekend. Greg liked the feel of this car in the test, so if we can get the handling right, we should get a pretty good finish out of it.
