Biffle on Dover:
“I really like Dover. I’ve had some success there in the past and believe we can do it again. As a driver you have to be on your toes, it’s a fast track that changes throughout the race. The points battle is close and I think we’ll be good this weekend.”
Puccia on Dover:
“We just had a very good test at Texas and I feel like we learned a bunch there that might help us on banked race tracks. Track position and pit strategy are very important at Dover and so is keeping up with the concrete surface as rubber builds throughout the race. The points are tight, so we are looking to try and get a good run this weekend and put us in the next round.”
