Biffle on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“Richmond is a track that a lot of drivers like because it allows for good racing. We’re taking the same car we ran at Richmond in the spring. We had a good run going and I think we would have easily come out of there with at top-10 finish but we got into the wall late in the race after some contact with Jeff Green and that put us at the end of the lead lap till the finish. We’re going to go into this race looking to get the top 10 finish we probably should have had in the spring and see what we can do.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“We’re taking back the same car the team ran at Richmond earlier this year. They didn’t get the finish they wanted but ran in the top 10 most of the day. The car has a new body because the one they ran in the spring didn’t fit the templates as well as it should. We’re trying a few new things with the body and we’ll see how it works out. It is an impound race, so we probably won’t focus much on qualifying setup and we’re primarily work on getting the car to turn through the center of the corners.”
