Biffle on racing at Pocono Raceway:
"Pocono is a little different than most of the tracks we go to just because you can get so much speed in the straightaways but the corners are so flat that you've got to be able to slow down and control the car almost like a road course. We had a really good run at Pocono last month, so we'll just start with that, although the track tends to change a little between the two races. Obviously it will be hotter this time, so we'll be prepared for that. We just need to get a solid top-five finish and continue to try to secure our top-10 position in the points."
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Pocono Raceway:
"We're taking the same car back that we ran there last month. We've made a few small changes but the biggest thing we've worked on is improving the brakes. We had a car capable of winning the race there the last time and we had another brake issue. So, we've changed a couple of things and I am going there with the goal of running in the top five and being there to compete for the win at the end of the race."
