One Year Ago at Daytona
Rain wreaked havoc on the Coke Zero 400 July 4th weekend in Daytona. What should have been a Saturday night race turned into a rain-shortened Sunday afternoon race. Biffle led for a total of nine laps before being involved in a wreck on lap 98. Biffle’s long-standing DNF streak came to an end as the race ended on lap 112 for rain while the No. 16 was still in the garage for repairs, leaving Biffle with a 29th-place finish.
In the Points
Biffle is currently 20th in the point standings, 62 points out of 16th.
Biffle on Daytona:
“I’m looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully we can get a top-10 finish or a win. Daytona under the lights is always exciting and was the site of my first win, a long time ago. I’m hoping to back it up with another this weekend.”
Puccia on Daytona:
“We are ready for Daytona. Our Superspeedway program has been always been strong and I don’t expect anything less this go around. We had a decent May and some bad luck lately but Daytona is a good opportunity to get things headed in the right direction for the next few weeks. We’ve got a lot of good races here in front of us and are looking to get a good finish in Daytona.”
