Biffle on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol under the lights is incredible. It’s a great race for the fans and it’s a fun race as a driver. We can come out of there with a good finish if we don’t get caught up in any accidents. If we can stay out of the mess, I think we can get a top-five finish and be a contender for the win. In these next three races we just need to get the best finishes we can and see what happens with the guys in front of us.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking the same car we won with at Darlington earlier this year. We’ll start by going back to our notes from the first race. We cut a tire early in the race and were three laps down at one point but the car was good enough for Greg to race back up to a top-10 finish even with some damage. As far as the points go, Michigan was not exactly what we needed. We didn’t make up as much ground as we had hoped but I’m not going to say that we’re completely out of it. Any one of the guys ahead of us could fall back just as easily as we could move up. We just need to be in a position to capitalize on it if any of those guys have problems.”
