QUOTES & NOTES
*Clearly Biffle hasn't been in town the last couple weeks, when the weather's been wet, dreary and cool. “We're going to start with the exact same setup that we won here with -- but it's to be determined. It's a lot hotter, it seems like, now compared to what it's normally like in the spring. It's normally fairly cool here ... but it's pretty hot now so we'll have to wait and see.”
*"You'll know when you unload here. It's kind of like restrictor-plate racing; you can improve a lot, but you're not going to normally go from one extreme to the other with the limited amount of practice."
*Biffle's mediocre finish is indicative of his inconsistent finishes at NHMS. He struggled here early, running an average of 33rd in his first five Loudon visits, then excelling as Roush began to dominate here -- running fifth, fourth and third in three straight -- then struggled again when the organization took some time to adapt with the Car of Tomorrow.
