Biffle on Sonoma:
“We are coming off a big win for us in Michigan and I’m looking forward to Sonoma. I love road racing. As long as I can keep it on the track, keep the transmission in it and the brakes on it, I think we’ll have a top-five finish or even a chance at the win. I’m looking forward to getting to Sonoma and having some fun.”
Puccia on Sonoma:
“After our win at Michigan we are looking to carry that momentum into Sonoma. This weekend is a good change of pace from the short tracks and ovals we’ve been at. Sonoma is a track with an abrasive surface. It’s hard on tires, which makes for different strategies during the race. Tire management and race management will determine the winner.”
