Biffle on racing at Daytona International Speedway:
“I don’t know that I’ve ever been so excited to get a season started. This new team has really come together and I can’t wait to see what we can do at the track. We had a little bad luck in the off-season at the Vegas tests but we’ve still got plenty of good cars and we’re taking two of them to Daytona this week. We tested both cars at the Daytona test and feel pretty confident about our chances with them. Pat’s got a great group of guys and I think we’re all just ready to get going. A win at Daytona is something you never forget and a Daytona 500 win is something no one forgets.”
Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Daytona International Speedway:
“We’re taking both of the cars that we tested at Daytona in January. We ran really well with both of them and feel pretty good about taking them down there this week. They’re both new cars but were both fast right off the truck. We’ve got pretty much the same team we had last year for the 6 car, so they already work together pretty well. I know we’re all ready to get down to Daytona and start racing.
