Biffle best at Roush
Of the five drivers for Roush Fenway Racing, Carl Edwards has the wins, but Greg Biffle is the highest ranking driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings after four races.
Biffle, coming off a fourth-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway, is second in the Cup standings, trailing only Kyle Busch.
In all fairness, Edwards would be in the top 12 and among the Chase contenders, if he wasn't penalized by NASCAR for having his car fail a post-race inspection after winning at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Biffle heads to Bristol Motor Speedway, site of Sunday's Cup race, with six top 10s in 10 career Cup races there. But he has never won a race at Bristol.
“I love racing at Bristol and this weekend I’ll be in both the Nationwide race and the Sprint Cup race, so I can’t wait to get there," said Biffle, driver of the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "We’re taking a car that we ran well with at Dover last year, and that combined with the way things are going for us this year makes me feel like we’re going to get to victory lane sooner than later."
The car his team is taking to Bristol raced at Dover International Speedway in Delaware last year and finished fourth. Biffle has never finished higher than third in a Cup race at Bristol and that came in 2005.
"I don’t have a win at Bristol and I would love to win there," Biffle said. "It’s a fun track and the fans get a great show every time because there’s not a bad seat in the house.”
