GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 KFC Ford Fusion – “It was a pretty rough day for us. We got a flat trying to make the outside groove push to the front and couldn’t get our lap back and then later the 10 came across our nose there. It was unfortunate but it happens. I don’t know if she was trying to block me or didn’t know I was there but it happens. Tough day for sure. I am proud of my guys for all their work this week. We had a pretty good week minus these issues today.”

We’re continuing to fight for sponsorship and to start the season off with this sponsorship on the car is outstanding."
