Biffle on Bristol:
“The Bristol night race is sort of an iconic race that everyone wants to be at. The fans love to go there. It’s cool to see under the lights and there isn’t a bad view. It’s one of the tracks I enjoy going up into the stands to watch an XFINITY race at because you can see the whole track, it’s fun to do. I think the sparks, the atmosphere, the electricity felt inside that place is like no other place we go.”
Puccia on Bristol:
“I always look forward to going to Bristol. It’s the fastest half-mile short track we go to and we’ve had some success there. Since it was resurfaced the variable banking offers side-by-side racing and night races at Bristol are always exciting. Track position is a big key to success, so we will work hard on qualifying on Friday. Our teammate had a good test at Bristol a few weeks ago so we feel confident heading into this weekend.”
