Biffle on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“I like racing at Texas a lot, it’s a fun and it’s always good racing. We had a good run going there last spring but got taken out pretty early. It seems like we usually run well at Texas but I’ve had a little bad luck there. We had a great win there in 2005 and it would be really nice to get this team a set of cowboy hats to wear home on Sunday. We’re taking a new car back this time and I think it’ll be good at Texas.”
Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking a brand new racecar to Texas this weekend. It is similar to the one we raced in Atlanta, which is the car we originally wanted to take to Texas. After the wreck with Reutimann there, though, we decided to take this new car to Texas. This team is really pulling together and I think that Greg is backing them as much as they are backing him every weekend. We’ve got some good finishes and maybe a win coming. Texas might be the place.”
