Greg Biffle, #50 Grainger Ford F-150 : (Qualified on the pole)"I'll tell you, it was hang on for dear life the whole lap! We were pretty free the whole day today. But we got some good information from the #99 team (teammate Mike Bliss) that helped us out a lot. I have to give them a lot of credit and thank their crew chief Matt Chambers for helping us out. You could see that they were quickest on the board by about two-tenths after practice. We took some of their information and put in onto our truck and it worked. That's what great about having two teams."

QUOTES FROM POST-QUALIFYING PRESS CONFERENCE:

"I did everything that I could to not hit the wall out there. We were too free and had been (free) during our qualifying runs earlier in practice. I really need to thank the #99 team. We put all the information from them into our truck and I just went out there and peddled it for a lap and got the pole. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE RACE TOMORROW? "I feel really good. I like to run here at Bristol. It's a lot of fun. The Grainger team has done a great job all year. We've run up front a lot. I'm glad that we'll be starting on the front row tomorrow. My boss (Jack Roush) is going to be here tomorrow so I'd better step the program up!" WAS THE DIFFERENCE FROM YOUR PRACTICE TIME TO YOUR QUALIFYING TIME A RESULT OF THE INFORMATION THE #99 TEAM GAVE YOU? "Yeah it was. We made some pretty dramatic changes. We would have never changed that much from one qualifying run to another without having the information to back it up. That's what it's like when you have two teams in this series. We can't always trade information. But at times like that when you're desperate, it helps a ton."

Mike Wallace, #2 Team ASE Racing Ford F-150: (Qualified second) " I normally slow up from practice to qualifying so we're happy with the run. Considering our first practice where we were about 14 ^th and then we found out that we had some problems right at the end of that practice. Then we came back and ran a strong second in the second practice. Then we qualified second, so it's been a good day for us. We've got a really good truck for tomorrow night. The Team ASE Ford F-150 has been a good truck all year long and the guys have done a good job all year too. We're looking forward to the race tomorrow. HOW ABOUT THE PATCHWORK IN TURN THREE (PATCHING WORK DELAYED NCTS QUALIFYING OVER AN HOUR)? "There is nothing wrong with the race track. It's just a two-inch expansion joint that the caulking came out of. Even if it does come out during the race, I don't think it will hurt anything."

Mike Bliss, #99 Exide Batteries Ford F-150 : (Qualified fourth) "The information that we shared helped him (Greg Biffle) out and I went slower (laughing). At least a Roush truck is on the pole. We ran so well in practice that I hoped that we could back it up in qualifying. It was tough because everything heated up out there. We changed a lot of stuff on the truck and I thought that we'd be even better in qualifying than we were. I was off just a little bit in the corners and that's all it takes here."

Kevin Harvick, #98 Porter-Cable Power Tools Ford F-150: (Qualified fifth) "That was a hell of an effort from the guys. I'm not the one sweating; they did all the work. We were taking a provisional just five minutes ago but NASCAR gave us five extra minutes and we got our chance. We pulled it off. Now we're starting up front. We'll take it. I have a lot of faith in the crew and they put together a fast truck. When they said that it was done, I just went out and put the hammer down." ....
