Biffle on racing at Watkins Glen International Speedway:
“I actually really look forward to the road courses. I tested the Busch car at Watkins Glen a couple of weeks ago and I think that track time refreshed my memory a little, which should help this weekend. We’re taking the same Cup car we raced there last year. We had a pretty good run with it and then had a part failure. If we can keep anything like that from happening this weekend, it should be a good run for us.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Watkins Glen International Speedway:
“We’re taking the same car we raced at Watkins Glen last year. We started by points last year because qualifying got rained out but we will focus on our qualifying runs in practice this time around because a good qualifying effort will help with our pit strategy. We’ll just need a smooth day with no major problems.”
