Biffle on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“I got to test the Busch car on the new surface at Bristol and I have mixed feelings. I’ve never been a fan of resurfacing racetracks and I think Bristol put on a good show with their old surface. The way the new surface is, it’s a lot smoother through and off of the corners, so you can’t really get the speed off of the corners that you used to but at the same time I think you’ll still see good racing there. Either way, it throws a challenge to everyone and kind of puts everyone on even ground.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking the same car the team raced at Bristol earlier this year. Biffle had a top-five finish with it there in the spring. The team had a little brake trouble with it in Martinsville but I don’t think that will be a factor this weekend. I think the re-pave is going to be the story at Bristol. We’ll see if the spring and shock packages that everyone takes there for the new surface work out. Then you’ve got the survival factor like you always do at Bristol. Qualifying well is always important for pit selection at Bristol, so we’ll focus on that when we unload.”
