Greg Biffle on racing at Martinsville:
“I feel pretty good about Martinsville. We’ll just have to keep our heads in the game and make smart decisions. At Martinsville, we had a decent finish last year and I'm looking forward to getting an even better finish this year. The short tracks are more intense and there is a little more pressure. You have to stay on your marks every lap and there's always someone on your bumper.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Martinsville:
“We’re taking chassis 258 because it ran well last year but we just didn’t have good track position. It will be a good foundation to improve on though and hopefully get a better finish this time. I think a realistic goal for us this weekend at Martinsville is a top-10 finish. I’d have to say our strategy for the race will change depending on where we’re running and how we qualify.”
