Biffle on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol is the highest banked and most intense track we go to. You don't have time to breath and it is super competitive. It is extremely difficult to pass at Bristol, so track position is crucial. It also makes pit strategy really important because if you get on the wrong pit cycle, it can cost you the race. For the fans, I think Bristol may be one of the best tracks we go to because there is not a bad seat in the house.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking a car that we won with last year at Dover and Darlington. We also tested it this year at Las Vegas but decided not to take it back there for the race. We think it will be a good car for Bristol this weekend because of the success we had with it at Dover and Darlington. A good run this weekend would be a big boost for us in the points. Right now we’re only 77 points out of the top 10 and that’s our current target. Qualifying will be important, so we can get good pit selection. Pit strategy will be important this weekend.”
