“That’s good,” said Biffle, a native of Vancouver, Wash. “We’ll just do the best we can and we’ll see what happens when we get (to the Chase).”
Biffle, who is just one point behind points leader Jimmie Johnson, said it’s not a sign of disrespect among his fellow drivers.
“It just keeps people from asking me questions,” he said. “Go talk to them about it. It keeps the pressure off of me. We don’t like pressure.”
The Roush Fenway driver has been out of the spotlight this season despite compiling impressive results, including one win, nine top-five finishes and 13 top-10 finishes.
Biffle is optimistic he can bolster those statistics today at Michigan International Speedway, a track where he has had a number of recent miscues, such as running out of fuel twice and a botched pit stop.
“That was the old 16 team,” he said. “Now we don’t make those kinds of mistakes anymore. We’re definitely due. We’ll see (today).”
Biffle qualified 13th for the Pure Michigan 400 in Brooklyn, Mich.
Enumclaw’s Kasey Kahne, who is 11th in the points standings, will start fifth.
