Biffle on Loudon:
“We are bringing a car with a different front suspension package to Loudon this weekend. Everybody is working hard to get our cars back to where they were. This is a car like we won with and finished top-five a few races in a row and I feel good about it.”
Puccia on Loudon:
“We are looking to go to Loudon this weekend and get us up there in the points. Loudon has been a good track for us in the past, we ran second in this race last year. We are bringing a car that was new in Richmond and we’ve made some changes to it for this weekend at Loudon.”
