"You think Daytona was crazy? Just wait until Dega. I think I need to work on my driver coaching a bit so we don’t zig when we should have zagged."
"I basically taught him everything he knows about driving a car. And today he’s going to prove that. Now if he does some dumb s**t out there, that’s not me. I did not tell him to do that. Now if he drives that thing to the front and gets the trophy, and tears up that infield, and we together don’t wear sleeves for two years? That’s what I taught him," Biffle said.
