Biffle on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"Our finishes at Watkins Glen don't really reflect our performance at the road course. Last year, I was running in the top 10 and had to start at the end of the longest line because of an improper fueling procedure. Then we were working our way back through the field when the transmission broke. In 2004, we were having a solid top-15 run when we had an engine failure and in 2003, we had a good run and ran out of fuel on the last lap. I enjoy racing at Watkins Glen and I'm looking forward to turning things around there this weekend."
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"We're taking the same car we've raced at Watkins Glen for the last three years. This car was built for that track and has run really well there. Last year we had a transmission problem and in 2004 we had an engine failure, so the finishes don't really reflect this team's performance at The Glen. We're in a tough position in the points but it's not impossible. We've got some good tracks coming up and if any team can turn things around, it's this one."
