Biffle on Martinsville:
“I’m ready for Martinsville this weekend. I’ve got a few top 10’s in a row there and last time I came from the back all the way to finish ninth. We don’t seem to practice good at Martinsville or qualify good, but we race our way to the front. So hopefully this weekend we’ll turn that around a little bit. We’d like to qualifying good, start up front and hopefully take home a grandfather clock.”
Puccia on Martinsville:
Martinsville has been a decent track for us over the last couple of years. We’ve learned a lot about what it takes to get our car to run there. It’s a unique track from any other track we go to on the circuit. With the new set of rules this year Martinsville will be one of the more challenging tracks to get ahold of with this new package, but having a good baseline from the fall I believe we have a good starting point.”
