Aces prepare for 125s

Ford duo Greg Biffle and Elliott Sadler have already bagged their starting slots on the front row on Sunday, but they are keen to learn as much as possible from today's races.

"My main goal is to stay out of trouble," said Biffle. "We're starting in the front row, so I'd like to stay out front as much as I can. Obviously, there are gonna be pit stops and other things involved, so I'm just gonna try to keep the car out front and try to keep it out of harm's way. I think I'm gonna be cautious in the 125, yet aggressive."

Sadler said: "We probably don't have to take [anything] near the chances maybe some of the other guys have to take. We're gonna go and try to win the thing. I want to see how it's gonna lead and run up front, but I don't have to worry about being three-wide and just trying to race my way in.

"If it gets too hairy, you might see me just be more calm and maybe just ride the high line and get a good tyre check and fuel mileage check. We'll see. We're gonna try to win that thing. I mean, that's our number one goal, but our ultimate goal is to win the Daytona 500."
