Biffle on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“I’d hate to say that I don’t like racing at Talladega because I do but the superspeedway races are always a gamble. When you’re running in a pack like that at the speeds we run, it really doesn’t matter if you have the best car out there or the most talented driver in it. You just have to be able to keep up and stay out of the wrecks when they happen. We haven’t had the best year so far but I think we’ve got something we can build on, so a good finish this weekend would just add to that confidence and keep us going in the right direction.’
Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“We’re taking a brand new car to Talladega this weekend. We tested it at Daytona in February and it was actually our fastest superspeedway car. We decided to save it for Talladega and get it tuned in for that track since it’s a Chase race later in the year. We’re close to cracking the top 12 in the point standings and if we can stay out of trouble this weekend that would definitely help our cause.”
