Greg Biffle

Crew Chief: Doug Richert
Chassis: RK-201 (Raced Atlanta earlier this year)
Biffle on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We had a great test at Charlotte a few weeks ago and we also learned several things over the course of the All-Star weekend, so I feel pretty confident with our chances. The car we’re taking was definitely the better of the two we tested and we had a decent run with the other one last weekend. The Coca-Cola 600 is obviously the longest race of the season, so we’ll just take what we’ve learned at the test and the All-Star and use that information as we can to get started on Thursday.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking the car that we led the most laps with at Atlanta earlier this year before we ran short on fuel. It was one of the two cars we tested at Charlotte a couple of weeks ago. We’re taking the car that Greg liked better to the Coca-Cola 600 but we learned a lot of things from the other car last weekend in the All-Star race. If NASCAR has an endurance race, this is it and you just have to plan for it.”
