GREG BIFFLE-37-Yard-Man Ford Fusion - WHAT HAPPENED? "I just got a little high in the middle of the final corner before the straightaway." WAS IT A CASE OF STILL BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE RACE COURSE? "Yeah, probably that, and it's just different." HOW UNFORGIVING IS THIS RACE TRACK WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE? "Well, it's pretty forgiving in a lot of spots, but it's not forgiving right over there. That's about the only spot really." THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME AT THIS TRACK. CAN YOU OVERCOME THE DISADVANTAGE OF NOT BEING HERE ALL THREE YEARS TO BE COMPETITIVE ON SUNDAY? "Oh yeah, I feel good about it. We were 10th quick before that, and really felt like we hadn't got our legs under us yet. I know I can run in the top five for the race."
