GREG BIFFLE -66-Henkel Ford Taurus (Finished 1st)

"I just had the Henkel car a little bit too loose at the start of the race and it was my fault, and it's been a long time since I've spun out by myself. I jumped in the throttle down there trying to get a run underneath that car, I don't know who I was trying to get by, but it was just my fault. I got the car turned around, but these guys in the pits really recovered well for me and they put some wedge in the car and worked on it all night and never gave up. Newt and I just came up with a game plan that track position was important here tonight and put ourselves in position. I just can't be more excited for this Brewco team to get this Ford Taurus in Victory Lane. Second last week and to win this week, and I just love Phoenix. I love this area and I love the fans out here and just hopefully have a good run tomorrow night, too."

WERE THE CAUTIONS A HELP TO YOU TONIGHT?

"They were more frustrating because I seemed to have a better car on the long runs and Elliott Sadler had a great race car on the short run and could really do something with me. My car was a little bit too loose, but I knew that if I just protected the bottom and stayed on the bottom groove that he wouldn't get a run on me. That's all I had and I was running the heck out of the 66 car and I just appreciate Brewco Motorsports giving me the opportunity to drive this thing."

WHAT DID YOU LEARN TONIGHT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT?

"I learned a lot about the race track. The race track changed unlike I thought it would. I can't let the competitors know what it did, but we'll see. I learned something for tomorrow night and Doug (Richert) was down there watching and I think we'll have a good run."
