Biffle on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“I love racing at Darlington. Obviously I’ve had some success there so that helps but it’s just a fun track.
The new surface will make for an entirely different race there than we’ve ever had before though, so we’ll
see how it goes. We’re going to be running so much faster there than we have in the past. Passing will be
difficult but I think there should still be some good racing. Tire wear won’t be nearly as much of a factor as
it was before the repaving. We ran just as fast on lap 30 at the tire test as we did on the first lap out. I hope
what we learned at the tire test gets us off on the right foot this weekend. A good run at Darlington would
be exactly what we need.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“We’re taking the car we finished third with at Las Vegas. We also got some track time down in Darlington
for the two tire tests we did for Goodyear. I think Goodyear settled on a tire that will work with the new
surface without being way too fast. We will have a little bit of an advantage going into the first practice
session after having tested there but we’ll have so much practice time over the course of the weekend that I
think everyone else will get a chance to catch up. I have to say that I expected a better finish in Richmond
last weekend so we need to make up that ground with a top-five finish this weekend in Darlington.”
