Biffle on racing in the Shootout:
“Racing in the Budweiser Shootout is always a good way to start the season. It’s a fun, lowstress race but it also gets you some valuable track time that the rest of the Daytona 500 contenders who aren’t in the shootout don’t get. It also means you got a pole in the previous year, so you must have done something right.”

Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing in the Shootout:
“The Shootout will be important because it will be our first opportunity to run a full fuel run in traffic. We’ll see how the handling holds up and how the fuel mileage works out, which will be a big advantage as we prepare for the 150’s on Thursday. It should get us pointed in the right direction as far as where we need to be for setup as well as help us with a little extra practice time. That being said, we’re also looking at it as our first opportunity to put the 3M Ford in victory lane and we will be taking it seriously as a jumping point for the season.”
