Ford Racing Notes and Quotes: Greg Biffle

Brooklyn, Mich. — Greg Biffle is seventh in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings going into this weekend’s race. He came into the trackside conference room at Michigan International Speedway to talk about Sunday’s race.

GREG BIFFLE – NO. 16 3M FORD FUSIONHOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS TRACK?“You can ask me throughout the season what my favorite track is and it’s here this weekend—Michigan.

"I just really enjoy the racing here. You can run two-, three-wide with a downforce car with plenty of room to race, so I think it bodes well for fans that really see good side-by-side racing on a big race track.

"There’s a lot of strategy involved and kind of semi-technical type of race track. We normally always have green flag pit stops here, which I enjoy doing. I think the double-file restart is also gonna be a little more exciting when we get those caution flags, so I’m looking forward to this weekend.”

GM ANNOUNCED SOME CUTBACK IN NATIONWIDE. CAN YOU GIVE US SENSE FOR THE LEVEL OF CONCERN YOU HAVE FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY?“Certainly we’re concerned about the auto manufacturers because even though Ford, thankfully, has positioned themselves in the right spot in the car market with great vehicles—I don’t want to sound like a salesman—but they’ve got really, really good cars, a great truck platform, and over the next couple of years they’ve got some really exciting small cars coming to this market. They’re gonna be the leader, I’m confident, in the car industry, so to take it a step further, GM and Chrysler or Dodge have probably made some mistakes along the way.
