Biffle on Talladega:
“I’m really looking forward to Talladega this weekend. Having a fast car, staying up front and having good pit stops is what it will take to be there at the end and to put yourself in contention for a win. Nobody ever knows what’s going to happen at Talladega, we’ll have to wait and see.”
Puccia on Talladega:
“I feel pretty good about where our superspeedway program is right now. We are taking the same car that we raced in Daytona and qualified third with. Talladega is the fastest track we go to throughout the season. Staying out front and in front of the wrecks, and all the things that could take you out of the race, will be the key to having a good day at Talladega.”
