Biffle on racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
“We’re taking one of our best cars to Chicago this weekend. We’ve had a lot of success with this car and I feel confident taking it to Chicago. Chicagoland is very fast and relatively flat, which makes it challenging. It requires a lot of throttle and brake control and those types of tracks are the most fun for a driver.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
“We’re taking RK 239 because we’ve run it at similar tracks this season and had a decent amount of success. Chicagoland is similar to California and Texas, so we think this is the car to take. We’ll just take last year’s setup and apply what we’ve learned this year. We’re going to focus on getting the car to turn well in practice and then as always, qualifying will be important for pit selection.”
