DAVID RAGAN – No. 6 AAA Ford Fusion – IS THERE ANYTHING WORSE THAN RAIN AT THE RACE TRACK? “Possibly a tornado or a hurricane, I guess. No, rain is disappointing. We can handle 100-plus degrees or 30 degrees and snowflakes, but when it rains it just kind of messes up everybody’s plan.” HOW WOULD THINGS CHANGE IF YOU HAVE TO COME BACK AND RACE TOMORROW? “It’s gonna matter some, but I’m sure it’s not gonna be sunny and 80 degrees. It will probably be cloudy and somewhat the same conditions, but you’ll just have to take it easy at the start. I know some guys it might suit their cars better than others. I don’t know what it will do to ours, but we’ll have to do what everybody else does and see what happens.”

GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 3M Ford Fusion – IS THIS THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO? YOU GET IN THE CAR, ON THE TRACK, AND IT RAINS BEFORE YOU GO GREEN. “Absolutely, because what’s probably the worst is we didn’t get one lap of green. If we’d have gotten 10 laps or five, or if we would have gone green and ran four laps I’d be a lot happier just to know what you have because I think we’ve got a good car. We just didn’t get the grip we wanted in qualifying, so I think we’re gonna be good but it’s so frustrating. It was like, ‘We’re going green,’ so I pulled my belts down and it just didn’t happen. Oh well, there’s nothing you can do.”
