Biffle on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“I really enjoy racing at Phoenix because the west coast races feel like home tracks for me. I’ve run well at Phoenix in the Cup car but just never could get the win. I have two Busch wins at PIR and actually clenched my Busch Championship there, so it’s a memorable track for me. I think the kinks are getting worked out of the COT cars and the fans will see a great race this weekend. I know we’re taking a brand new car that we tested at Richmond and I think it’s a good choice for this track.”
Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“We’re taking a brand new racecar to Phoenix this weekend. It’s one of the two that we tested at Richmond and I feel pretty confident in taking it to Phoenix. We had a great run last weekend in Texas and I think the momentum is starting to build in the right direction for this team. It takes time to build trust between a driver and a team and vice-versa and I think we’re getting there.
