Richmond II: Biffle post-qualifying interview

GREG BIFFLE - No. 16 National Guard/Subway Taurus (Qualified 2nd)
Press Conference

WHAT WILL YOUR STRATEGY BE TOMORROW, HAMMER DOWN?

"Yeah, I mean we want to be courteous to those guys that are in that position - trying to get in the chase - and certainly don't want to be a guy making it or breaking it for somebody. Similar to Homestead last year, I just want to race my race and, hopefully, be in front of that whole group or not hopefully behind them or in the middle of all that stuff. We've got a great car. I think I've qualified second here before, but change my name to second pretty soon. Qualified second, finished second, finished second. No, I can't complain. We've got a great starting spot for tomorrow night. It's the best car I've had. I'm real excited. I think I can win here tomorrow night, which I haven't felt like that before. I just can't wait for that green flag to drop."

RYAN NEWMAN SAID EARLIER IT COULD BE LESS THAN A CLEAN RACE. YOUR THOUGHTS?

"I don't believe that. I believe it's gonna be a clean race. I don't see a lot of people getting involved in stuff. Everybody's got the focus of getting a good finish and all that. I think it's gonna be a good race tomorrow night. I'm just happy to start up front, have good track position, and I just can't wait to get to Loudon."

WHAT WILL WE SEE TOMORROW NIGHT?

"We show up every week and give 110 percent from lap one to lap 400. I did at California. I did at Bristol. I did it everywhere and I'm gonna do the same tomorrow night. I would hope that all of the other drivers do the same thing because if they're not, they're suffering. But I'm gonna do what I normally do and just do the best I can, and be kind of courteous to some of those guys that are in that deal. Racing around them we've got to be careful and get the best finish we can."
