Biffle on Darlington:
“I love the Darlington race track, I’ve got a couple of wins there and I’m ready to put Talladega behind us. This will be the first time there with the new car, so we don’t know what to expect. There should be a lot of grip. I’m excited, the team is excited, we are looking for a win to get back some points. The last two weeks have been really rough on us. I can’t wait to race the black Meguiar’s car under the lights Saturday night at Darlington.”
Puccia on Darlington:
“Last year we had a really good race at Darlington. We sat on the pole and led a bunch of laps. Darlington is a unique track with a lot of history. It has two distinct opposite different configurations of corners. It’s a balancing act between each end trying to get the car to do one thing at one end and not be the total opposite at the other end. A balancing act you have to work on pretty hard. You’ve got to keep up with the race track all night long as the track changes over the course of the night to be there at the end.”
