Biffle on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “We’ve always run pretty well at Atlanta and in the last couple of years there were a couple of times when I really thought we had a car to win. It’s one of the fastest tracks on the circuit and you’ll see a lot of good racing there. We’ve really come together as a team this year and I’m pretty pleased with our performance so far. We’ve got a couple of things to work out in the pits but the guys are working on it and I feel confident that we can keep the momentum going.”

Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “We’re taking a brand new car to Atlanta this weekend. We haven’t tested it yet but it is very similar to the car we finished third with at Las Vegas last weekend. Atlanta is a very fast racetrack with big, long turns so we’ll focus primarily on getting the car to turn through the corners. I am very encouraged by this team’s performance so far this season and I think that if we can keep this momentum going, we’ll be a contender week in and week out.”
