Biffle on Chicago: “I’m definitely looking forward to going to Chicago this weekend. Roush Fenway as a whole has run well historically at the mile-and-a-half tracks and as a team we have had some good races there. I know last year we had a pit penalty that got us behind but that was with a guy that was subbing in while one of our regular guys was out. We’re doing everything we can to try to get a win and we keep getting closer. We didn’t have a great run last weekend in Daytona but that is a wild card race for everyone. A good run in Chicago would be a big boost for the team.”
Erwin on Chicago: “Chicago is kind of unique because the banking is different and the track is almost round rather than oval. We need to have a lot of adjustability going from day to night and work with the driver when the sun is going down to keep the sun out of his eyes. The track doesn’t have a lot of grip so handling is crucial. We have had decent cars there in the past. We led some laps there two years ago and finished in the top five. Last year we had some pit issues but I think we’re optimistic about this weekend.”

• Indoor air commonly contains particles like pollen, mold spores, dust-mite debris and other allergens. Some of these particles, like household dust, are visible to the naked eye. Others, like particles that can carry viruses, bacteria and odors, are microscopic. To help reduce the amount of airborne particles it’s important to use a high-efficiency air filter or room air purifier.
