Biffle on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:

“I’m really looking forward to Talladega; we had such a good run at Daytona.  We feel like the Roush-Yates engines will be the talk of the weekend again about how fast our cars will be in Talladega.  I’m hoping for good side-by-side racing, big-pack racing, sort of like it was at Daytona.  You’ve got to be there at the end to have a shot.  It’s going to be a two-car tandem push for the win and hopefully the No. 16 3M / O’Reilly’s Ford will be out front.”

Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:

“We are taking our Daytona 500 car to Talladega this weekend.  Talladega is a typical superspeedway race where you’re going to have to survive the whole race to be there at the end.  This new package that NASCAR started for us at Daytona allows for a lot more old conventional style drafting and we’ll look for that again in Talladega like we had in Daytona.  Qualifying is important with the new package, since you don’t have as much of the tandem slingshot coming from the back like with the old style.”
