Biffle on Richmond:
“Richmond is always a fun race track. It drives like a mile-and-a-half, like a superspeedway, but yet it’s got little short corners. There’s big, long, fast straightway and little tight corners, lots of technique to getting around Richmond. We’ve gotten better and better there and have some top 10’s. I’m looking to get my first win at Richmond this weekend.”
Puccia on Richmond:
“We’ve shown a lot of promise at Richmond over the last few races there. Our short track program has come along well, we had a good run at Martinsville, which is a totally different track, but there are some things that will transfer over. Track position is important, so qualifying on Friday will be pretty important. Having a car that’s good for a long run will be key to having a good run there because tire fall off is pretty big.”
