Biffle on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“Atlanta is one of the fastest tracks on the circuit and there’s always good racing there. We’re taking a car that is very similar to what we raced in Las Vegas and California. I think we’ve learned a few things these last couple of weeks that should help us out in Atlanta. I’ve had a lot of success in Atlanta in the Busch series and we had two good runs there in the Cup car last season. We’re looking for some solid top-five finishes and to make up some ground in the points during the next few weeks and I think we can definitely get it done.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Atlanta Speedway:
“We’re taking a car that we raced last year at the spring race in Bristol. It is very similar to the car we’ve race the last two weeks at California and Vegas, so we feel pretty confident about taking it to Atlanta. We’ve run well at Atlanta in the past, so we’ll just take those setups and tweak on them a little. We’re going to try a different shock package based on what we learned in Las Vegas last weekend and I think this one will be a little better for us.”
