Fast Facts
Last season, Greg Biffle and the team went into the race with and followed a pit strategy that resulted in a top-five finish, much like last weekend at Infineon Raceway.
Biffle’s first race at the New England oval was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race in 1998. He started sixth and finished second.
Biffle finished fifth last week at Infineon and currently sits 17th in the point standings, 199 points out of the top 12.
This weekend, Biffle will run a black, blue and white Aflac paint scheme with the Aflac duck on the hood.

Biffle on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“I always enjoy racing at New Hampshire. It’s a flat track and those are always fun for a driver because it requires a lot of throttle and brake input. The keys to New Hampshire are getting the car to rotate in the corner and have lots of forward bite exiting. If you can hit both of those things with the setup then it’s generally a good day. This will be our first race with Aflac on the car and it would be cool to get the duck up front on its debut.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“We’re taking the same car we raced earlier this year at Dover and finished sixth. Right now we feel that this is our best COT car. We tested a car similar to this at Milwaukee and feel that this is our best bet for this weekend. We had a good run last weekend at Infineon and if we can keep it up for the next few weeks, we’ll be able to gain some ground on the top 12.”
