Fast Facts
In the spring race at Martinsville, Greg Biffle was running in the 14th position when it became apparent that he was having severe brake trouble and he took the car to the garage where the team replaced the brakes, losing only six laps. Biffle has one top-five finish, two top-10 finishes and one pole in three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts at Martinsville Speedway. With the 27th place finish last week in Charlotte Biffle and the team are currently 16th in the point standings, 142 points out of the 13th position. This weekend Biffle will run the red and black Dish Network paint scheme.

Biffle on racing at Martinsville Speedway: "I don't have a very good history at Martinsville. We seem to have a lot of brake trouble there and just bad luck in general. We've been working really hard on the COT program and I think we've definitely improved over the course of the season. The guys are doing a few things to try to make sure we don't have the same brake problems we had in the spring and if we can do that and get a little luck on our side this time, it should be a decent race for us."
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Martinsville Speedway: "We're taking the same car we raced at the second New Hampshire race this year because we felt like we made progress with it there. We've been working with the engineering department and the seven-post information to continue to better our COT program, so we'll see what we can do this weekend. At Martinsville you have to focus on getting the car to turn in the center and good forward drive off of the corner. We're going to give the car as much brake cooling as possible because that was a problem for the team back in April and we're going to work on a brake compound that hopefully won't generate as much heat."
