Biffle on racing at California Speedway:
“California and Michigan are probably my two favorite tracks. I’ve had a lot of success at California Speedway in the Busch Series and we’ve run well there the last several times in the Cup car. We’re taking a brand new car but it is very similar to one we tested in Vegas and we were really happy with that one. My family usually makes it down to California for both races and I think they’re planning to be there this weekend. We were obviously a little disappointed with the way things turned out in Daytona but we’re definitely looking at California as a track where we can get things started on the right foot.”
Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at California Speedway:
“We’re taking a brand new car to California this weekend. We modeled this car after one of the cars we tested in Vegas last month and we were really happy with the performance of that car. We’ve taken this one to the wind tunnel and it turned in some pretty impressive numbers, so we feel pretty confident in taking it this weekend. California is a good track for Greg and we had several good runs there with Mark as well, so we’ve got pretty high expectations heading into this weekend.”
