o Biffle has fallen just short of a win in the Nationwide Series at Kentucky, finishing second three times in a row.
o In his six Nationwide starts at Kentucky, Biffle has earned three top-five and five top-10 finishes.
o Biffle won in 2000 in his only Truck Series start at Kentucky.
· ACE Brand
o 3M’s ACE Brand is bringing Wayne, their “Everyday Champion”, to the track this weekend in Kentucky as an honorary crew member of the No. 16. Wayne is a machinist who has elbow pain and benefits from ACE’s adjustable elbow support. Meet Wayne.

Biffle on Kentucky:
“I’ve excited about the Kentucky race for a few reasons. I love night races and we’ve got ACE Bandages on the car and the black car will look really good under the lights Saturday night. Kentucky has been a tough track for us, but I have a lot of success there in Truck and Nationwide. We’re hoping for a good run Saturday night.”
Puccia on Kentucky:
“We’ve been working hard on our intermediate program. We got to test Indy last week and hopefully learned a few things that will help us this weekend. Kentucky has been a track we’ve had decent success at on different levels. We are looking forward to Kentucky with ACE this weekend and putting on a good show for them.”
