Biffle on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“I’ve always liked Richmond. It is definitely one of the top five tracks on the circuit in my opinion. We’ve run well there in recent years and I look for the same this weekend. Last year the spring race at Richmond started a string of seven top 10s in a row for me and it would be great to do that again. We had a great run in Talladega last weekend and stayed out of trouble until the final two laps. We’ll have to rebound from that and a string of top 10s would certainly do it.”
Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“We’re taking the same car we raced at Phoenix a couple of weeks ago. We had a little bit of a handling problem with it there but I think we’ve figured out where we went wrong. I feel confident that we’re making the right decision in taking chassis 404 to Richmond. Greg runs well there and we’re going to get the car where it needs to be for him. We’ve learned a lot so far this season and I think every week we’re better for it. We lost a little ground in the points in Talladega but as a team you almost have to factor that in not knowing what will happen there. We’ve got some tracks coming up that Greg has historically race well at and I would be disappointed if we’re not in the top 12 in the next couple of weeks.”
