â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Biffle and the National Guard team are currently 296 points out of the lead but are only 77 points out of a top-10 position.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Biffle has completed all but one lap in six Cup Series starts at Bristol Motor Speedway.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This weekend the No. 16 National Guard team will again run the 2006 Subway paint scheme. Â This paint scheme will run a total of 11 times this season.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â For the first of three times in 2006, Matt Kenseth will pilot the No. 17 USG Sheetrock Ford Fusion. Â USG Sheetrock will also be the primary sponsor for the USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway in July and the November race at Phoenix International Raceway.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Kenseth led 415 of 500 laps at Bristol last fall and won from the pole, turning in one of the more dominating performances at the "World's Fastest Half Mile" in recent memory. Â The 415 laps led in the event were the most in a race at Bristol since Rusty Wallace in April of 1999.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Kenseth's average finish of 12.2 is fifth among active drivers at Bristol .

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In Jamie McMurray's six Cup starts at the Bristol Motor Speedway, he has one top-five and three top-ten finishes.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â McMurray will be running car number 66 this weekend in Bristol . Â This car finished 10th last fall at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This weekend at the Bristol Motor Speedway marks the first of five races for McMurray behind the wheel of the black and red No. 26 Sharpie Ford Fusion.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â McMurray will join the FOX broadcast team in the Hollywood Hotel on Saturday for a portion of the Sharpie Mini 300 Busch Series race.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Carl Edwards' last win at Bristol came in August of 2004 while racing in the Craftsman Truck Series.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Edwards currently sits only 144 points out of 10th place in the points standing

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Danny O'Quinn Jr. has run three races at the Bristol Motor Speedway but has had bad luck in each of those races. In two of his three starts there a blown tire would keep him from a solid finish, and in his other start, getting caught up in a 10-car wreck not of his own making ended his day early.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â O'Quinn Jr. was born in Bristol , Tenn. , and grew up about an hour north in Coeburn , Va. , so the Bristol Motor Speedway is truly his home track.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Bristol is one of a few racetracks on the NASCAR Busch Series circuit that O'Quinn Jr. has raced on before, so he has more of an advantage going into this weekend's Sharpie Mini 300 than he's had in previous weeks.

â€¢ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The No. 50 Barr-Nunn team is bringing chassis RK-177 as a primary to Bristol this weekend, which is a former No. 60 Carl Edward's Busch car.

Martin on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:

" Bristol can be crazy. I've always said it is like flying a jet fighter around the inside of a basketball arena, and try that with 42 other jets doing it at the same time. It can get really intense and it takes a great deal of patience by everyone. You just have to hope that you run well and that you can stay out of all the trouble, which isn't always easy to do. Over the years Bristol has been the source of some real highs and lows for me.

"I've had some of the most memorable races I can remember there and some pretty tough times there as well. We've had a lot of trouble staying out of the wrecks lately there. In fact our luck has been so bad there as of late that we are definitely due and hopefully we'll see that there this weekend."

Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:

" Bristol has been a pretty tough place for us the last few years. We've had some good runs, but some really bad luck and we've seemed to get caught up in a lot of wrecks. We know that Mark can get the job done and I think that we'll have a good car, so if we can just stay out of all the wrecks and keep our nose clean then I think that we should be able to get a good finish and maybe even be there at the end again."
