GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 3M Ford Fusion (Finished 3rd) “It was tough. The car ran hot a lot of the day and we had to manage the water temperature and the fuel. It was close at the end but I just wish I could have stayed on Matt’s bumper."

499 or so miles will make up the Aaron's 499 tomorrow afternoon, and all 499 miles will surely be filled with chaos throughout the 43-car field. A slue of rule changes has been passed down by NASCAR officials to break up the two car tango, which we saw last season.

Tmone will go superspeedway racing with David Reutimann and Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) at Talladega Superspeedway. The U.S. Call Center Insourcing firm will have associate placement on the No. 10 TBR Chevrolet in the Aaron’s 499.

A.J. Allmendinger (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified Second “The Shell/Pennzoil Dodge qualifying run was a little surprising. I didn’t get to make a full-blown Q (qualifying) run yesterday, so we weren’t really sure what we had. It had nothing to do with me."

MARCOS AMBROSE, No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion (Qualified 3rd) “We missed the pole by two-one hundredths. I am proud of Todd Parrott, he works really hard at these Superspeedway events."
