Biffle on Phoenix: “I feel pretty good about going to Phoenix this weekend. We ran really well at the test there and we’ve been running better at the one-mile racetracks. We got our best finish of the season at New Hampshire and we were running well at Dover until I hit the wall so I have high expectations for this weekend. We’ll see how the track develops over the course of the weekend but there’s no doubt track position will be important. We’ve got a really cool Meguiar’s paint scheme this weekend and I’d like to keep it up front.”
Puccia on Phoenix: “We’ve been running well at the one-mile tracks lately. We were able to finish third at New Hampshire and had a good run at Dover until late in the race. We feel really good about the way we ran at the test last month but it was clear there that track position will be crucial with the new surface. It looks like it may be difficult to pass until we see how many grooves get worn in with practice, That will determine how the racing will unfold. Other than that, this race is really anyone’s ballgame because of the new surface so we’ll go there and see if we can’t get our best finish of the season.”
