Biffle on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“I enjoy racing at New Hampshire but for some reason we had always struggled there until last year. We had a couple of top-five finishes there last season and we’re taking the car that we ran well with at Martinsville. I feel confident with this car and if we start with our setup notes from last year, we’ll be in good shape. We’ve got eight races until the Chase, which sounds like a lot but there’s no room for us to make any mistakes.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“We're taking the same car we ran at Martinsville earlier this year because they are both flat tracks and we were pretty happy with the way the car ran at Martinsville. New Hampshire used to be one of our weaknesses but we had two top-five finishes there last year. If we can just go back and finish in the top five again, I'll be happy. We just need to hang on to our points position and not lose any ground on the top 10."
