Biffle on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“The Coca-Cola 600 is the longest race of the season and we are back to points racing this weekend so it’s important to finish well. We’ve been running well at Charlotte so I think we’ll definitely have a good run in our No. 16 Fastenal Ford this weekend. Our car was a little off at the All-Star, and obviously we didn’t get much time to work on it, but we’ll get more opportunities this weekend. The 600 is a long, drawn out, strategy-driven race and we’ll have to make it all the way to the end.”
Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“We didn’t have the results we wanted from the All-Star race, but we were fortunate to learn a lot of things that will apply to us this weekend in the 600. Traditionally we run well at Charlotte and we even had a chance to win last fall, so we are all looking forward to the 600. Charlotte is a typical 1.5-mile race track with a lot of grip. The challenge is being able to adjust from the conditions changing from daytime to nighttime as the sun goes down. So that’s the challenge that we’ll have in front of us, but we are excited to be bringing the car we won Texas with.”
