Biffle on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“We’ve always run pretty well at Atlanta and in the last couple of years there were a couple of times when I really thought we had a car to win. In the spring we were running well there when one of the lapped cars got into us and sent us into the wall. The guys worked on the car and got us back out there but we were several laps down. Tire management is important at Atlanta, so we’ll keep that in mind. We’re taking back the car we won with at Kansas, so I feel pretty confident about this weekend. Atlanta is one of the fastest tracks on the circuit and you’ll see a lot of good racing there.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking the car that we won with at Kansas to Atlanta this weekend. We decided to save it for Atlanta rather than run it at Charlotte because Greg has a pretty good record at Atlanta and we think there a good chance to get a second win there. If the car performs well this weekend and we get it back to Concord in one piece, I think we’ll try to get it turned around for Texas. Other than that, tire wear is something we’ll be aware of this weekend and also keeping the car turning through the corners on the long runs. We had a good run last weekend in Martinsville and we just need to keep the momentum going.”
