News and Notes
Nov 18
This week: Biffle scored three straight victories at Homestead from 2004 to 2006, but those are his only top-five or top-10 finishes in seven starts. He was 18th last year. Considering his past success at Homestead, Biffle admits that his eyes get pretty big looking forward to this race. "Yes, they do," he said. "I've run really well there. Homestead is a great race track for us. I look forward to going there because it's good momentum for us. Last weekend at Phoenix was pretty disappointing, and that makes it all the more important to run well this weekend at Homestead. We're just not where we need to be right now, and in order to get there, it would be good to end this season on a high note. We know how to run well at Homestead, and we have an incredible team. These guys deserve a win this season, and I can't tell you what it would mean to get it at Ford Weekend in Homestead."
Last week: Biffle is coming off a 14th-place finish at Phoenix. "What we got is what we got," Biffle said. "It has been that way all year. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. Just keep after it."
Etc.: Biffle's team is one of many that are already trying to find a way to improve in 2010 during the offseason. "Partly, what we have been doing is looking around for race tracks where we can go test, where it's still open to test -- like New Smyrna, Little Rock, things like that," Biffle said. "I know North Wilkesboro is going to be back in business, to a degree. There are some other places. What we need to do is iron out these cars. The problem is you got two hours of practice, and it's really hard to say, 'We don't really care about this race this weekend, let's just try a whole bunch of different stuff and see if it works.' You can't really do that, you know, because we have to compete here on Sunday, so it makes it difficult to try to leap forward, spending 45 minutes in the garage changing front spindles, ball joints and the whole thing and go back out on the track and think whether that's better or not. That's a lot of what we're up against. Computer modeling, simulation has come a long way. That helps. But you still need some track time."
