On to Chicagoland for Biffle and Team

“I really like Chicago.  I really like 1.5-mile tracks and Chicago is a favorite on my list.  It’s unique how it’s laid out, each corner is very different from the other.  Chicago is also one of the flatter 1.5-mile tracks that we race on.  Hopefully we can leave Chicago with a good finish in our Performance Plus Motor Oil Ford.”

Team:                          No. 16 Performance Plus Motor Oil Ford Fusion

Crew Chief:                 Brian Pattie
