Biffle on Dover:

I’ve got a couple of trophies from Dover and we run well there.  We tested there a few weeks ago and maybe learned a little bit here that can go along with that test and see if we can challenge and run in the top 10 again.”

Puccia on Dover:

 

“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.  We learned some things at the Dover test a few weeks ago that helped us in Charlotte and should help us this weekend.”
