Biffle on racing at Richmond International Raceway:

“Richmond has been a hit or miss track for us, it’s kind of been like Martinsville, but not as bad.  We look forward to having a good run at Richmond this weekend.  Richmond is definitely a driver’s track.  It allows for really good racing and the night race this weekend will be exciting for the fans no matter what.  We have a better brake package, lighter cars and I think we’ll have a good run.

Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing at Richmond International Raceway:

“The No. 16 3M team has a good track record at Richmond and last year at Richmond we had a good car.  We ran in the top five all race, but had an issue at the end of the race.  Richmond is a challenging race track and we’ll have to manage our brakes.  We feel good about where our short track program is this year and we can improve on last year and head to Richmond with the intention to win.”
