Biffle on Atlanta: “Atlanta is a great track to race at because it’s so big and fast. We’re taking a car there that we’ve had some success with so if our hard work pays off, it should be a good weekend for us. We had a decent run there in the spring and finished eighth. I think we can do better than that this time and hopefully lock in a Chase spot before we even get to Richmond. That is our goal this weekend. Well, that and putting the 3M Scotch Blue Ford into victory lane.”

Erwin on Atlanta: “We’re taking the same car to Atlanta this weekend that we won with at Pocono and finished third with at Indy. It was a brand new car at Indy and we had a shot at the win there too. We’re all looking forward to Atlanta this weekend and a chance to go ahead and clench our spot in the Chase. Atlanta is fast and if you can get your car to run well on the bottom and the top, you’ll do well there. As a team we seem to run well that this sort of racetrack. We had a top-10 run there earlier this year but we’ve come a long way since then so I think expectations are pretty high going there this weekend.”
