Biffle on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“Well, I had my best ever finish at Charlotte in the spring but the track is obviously a lot different. We’re taking a car that we’ve had success with but we’ll have to find a whole new approach. We tore up two cars in the test there, so we’re going to have to be a little cautious all around. We’ll keep a close eye on the tire wear and I may have to change my driving style a little to fit the new track surface. I hope the fans get to see some good, safe racing this weekend.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking chassis RK 275 to Charlotte this weekend. It’s the same car that we won with at California earlier this year and we think it will be a good car for the track conditions at Charlotte. We had a good run there in the spring but we’ll be using a whole new setup this weekend now that the track surface has been altered so drastically. We’re taking a different approach based on what we learned in the test. The biggest thing this weekend will be building the driver’s confidence in the car and the track.”
