Biffle on Kansas:
“I feel really good about Kansas this weekend. I like Kansas and have a couple of wins there. We’ve been running well and we have a strong opportunity this Saturday night. Kansas is really smooth, really fast and our cars handle well there. We’re looking for a win this weekend.”
Puccia on Kansas:
“Kansas is a really fast smooth mile-and-a-half race track and it’s been one of the tracks we’ve had some success at in the past. We had good runs at Texas and Darlington and we learned a lot there with things that will apply to Kansas this weekend. We are taking the same car from Texas so hopefully we’ll get our first win of the year.”
