Biffle on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“I’m looking forward to running at Pocono this weekend. We had a really good run there in June but had a little brake problem. We know what went wrong though and we’re ready to go back. We’re taking the car we raced in the Coca-Cola 600 and I feel really good about it. It is very similar to the car I won with at Michigan and that was a fast racecar. It should be a good race for us.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“We’re taking the car we ran in the Coca-Cola 500 earlier this year. It is built very similar to the car we won with in Michigan and Greg is pretty comfortable with it. We had a pretty good run going early on at the first Pocono race this year but we decided to take a different car back because we just feel this is a better car. We’ll use the same notes though and the same setup from the June race as a starting point when we get there.”
