Biffle on racing at Infineon Raceway:
“I like road course racing. It breaks up the season a little. Last year we had a top-five finish at Infineon and I think it’s reasonable to shoot for a top-10 finish this weekend. There are some drivers in this series who have a lot of road course experience and if I can just hold my own with them and get out of there with a top-10 or top-five finish, I think that would be a reasonable expectation.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Infineon Raceway:
“We’re taking a brand new car to Infineon this weekend. It is very similar to our teammates’ cars because the Research and Development team has spent a lot of time on these cars over the last few months. We tested this car at Road Atlanta a few weeks ago and were very happy with its performance. Greg only made a few laps because it ended up raining the afternoon we were there but in just those few laps, he was fast and seemed very happy with the handling of the car. I’m cautiously optimistic about this weekend. I know we have a good car and a talented driver, we just need everything else to work out.”
