Biffle on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway:

"We're going to Homestead as the defending race winners and it would certainly be great to make it three in a row.  We're taking back the same car that we won with there the last two years.  I was really excited about the car that we tested at Homestead a few weeks ago but that's the car we wrecked at Texas, so we're taking back 239.  That car has brought us some good runs over the last couple of years and we hope to take it to victory lane one more time"


Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway:

"We're taking the car to Homestead that we won with there the last two years.  We've had a lot of good runs with this car and it was a safe choice going into this weekend.  We tested the car that we ran at Texas and were pretty excited about bring it to Homestead but unfortunately there was not time to repair that car before we had to leave this week.  It would be great for this team to finish this year with a win and we're going to go to Homestead with that expectation."

Biffle on racing in the Busch Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway:

"I love racing at Homestead.  I won the last two Cup races there and finished second in the last Busch race.  This is the track that can change our luck.  Homestead is a fast track with several grooves.  It's a fun race and it's my last Busch race with Ameriquest.  Our team would love to get Ameriquest into the winner circle one more time this year.  I will be teamed up with Ameriquest in the NEXTEL Cup series next year so I have a lot of incentive to win this race."


Crew Chief Eddie Pardue on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway:

"The Ameriquest racing team plans on finishing the year off strong!  Homestead is the race everyone seems to look forward to. The finishes at Homestead are always exciting and Greg is very successful in the Busch and Cup series. Our hard work and dedication will pay off!"
