Biffle on racing in the Daytona 500:
“The Daytona 500 is the biggest race of anyone’s career. It’s a long race, a lot happens, you have to miss the big wreck, and you’ve got to be there at the end. We don’t know how long we’ll be able to push and it’s all about track position in the last few laps. We learned a lot from the Shootout and the fact we were able to qualify on the outside row for the Daytona 500 is a testament to how hard my team has worked in the off season getting ready for this weekend. I can’t wait to see if we can keep that 3M Ford up front.”
Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing in the Daytona 500:
“We’ve got a new rule package heading into this season, and at Daytona, survival is the biggest thing. You’ve got to be there at the end to be in position to win. Coming off the Shootout I feel like our team is working well together and I’m ready to see how the new fuel injection system plays into a full race. It should be interesting and may shake up how pit strategy has worked in the past.”
