Biffle on Homestead: “I really like racing at Homestead. It’s a great place for the season finale and I have no doubt that the race on Sunday will be one of the most exciting we’ve seen all season. We’re taking the car that we ran really well with at Charlotte last month before we had a few things go wrong. I’d hate to finish this season without a win and this is our last chance to keep that from happening. We’ve been running well at the intermediate tracks and if we don’t have anything go wrong, I think we should be able to run up front this weekend.”

Puccia on Homestead: “Homestead is a unique track with progressive banking which allows the drivers to run several grooves and makes for good racing. It’s another race where we start during the day and end after dark so we just have to be able to keep up with the adjustments. It’s another mile-and-a-half track and we’ve been running really well at those tracks lately. Greg obviously knows how to win at Homestead so if we can give him a fast racecar, we should be able to run up front. It would be great to be able to build momentum for 2012 with a win this weekend.”
