Fast Facts
Last year at Watkins Glen, Greg Biffle was running a top-five time in qualifying when he got loose and struck the wall. He started in the back with the backup car but contact with Kyle Petty early in the race sent him to the garage for several laps of repair.
Biffle has one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win at Watkins Glen and two top-five finishes in the Busch Series at the 2.45-mile road course.
Biffle finished 23rd at Pocono last week and currently sits 15th in the point standings, 216 points out of the top 12 with five races remaining until the Chase.
This weekend Biffle will debut the Wii paint scheme which he will also run later this season at Dover.

Biffle on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"I enjoy racing at Watkins Glen and we've run well there in the past. Our finishes obviously don't reflect that but we've had some mechanical issues there late in the race a couple of times. I had a win there in the truck series and a couple of good finishes there in the Busch Series, so I don't think a good Cup finish is out of the question. We're taking the car we finished fifth with at Infineon in June and I feel pretty confident in taking it to Watkins Glen this weekend."
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"We're taking the same car we raced at Infineon earlier this year. We had a good run with it there and I think that Watkins Glen is an even better track for Greg. He hasn't really had the finishes there to show it but he's run well there. This is what we believe to be our best road course car in the fleet. We also tested it earlier this year at Road Atlanta and felt confident with the laps Greg ran there as well. Barring anything crazy happening, I think we can realistically go to Watkins Glen with weekend with a top-five finish as our goal."
