No. 3 Greg Biffle

| | Comments (0) |

A 20th-place finish at Martinsville Speedway didn't hurt Greg Biffle that much in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings. He is third, 60 points out of first, and heading to Texas Motor Speedway, where he won the Cup race in April 2005.
"Well, after Martinsville I’m pretty excited to go to Texas," said Biffle, driver of the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "Texas is one of my favorite tracks and it’s usually a pretty good race for us. We’ve had some bad luck there but we also walked away with a set of cowboy hats one time. I’d love to get a set for this new team."
His best race at Texas in the past three years was a sixth-place finish in the spring race last year. Mixed in with that are a 33rd, 35th and 42nd.
The car his team is taking to Texas is a brand new car. It has yet to race anywhere. Biffle said he would like to win a race for his team, which has kept him in the top-five in the Cup standings for most of the season.
"They’ve worked really hard all year and I am completely confident that even when we have a minor setback, they learn from it and get ready for the next weekend," Biffle said. "We’re taking a brand new car this weekend but the way these cars are built so similar, I think we’ll be alright.”
