No. 5 Greg Biffle

| | Comments (0) |

Greg Biffle made the biggest jump in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings. He rose six places, to the fifth spot, after a third-place finish at Dover International Speedway, where several of the Chase contenders suffered setbacks.
In 10 career Cup races at Pocono International Raceway, site of this weekend's race, Biffle has only one top five finish and that came in 2004. His only other race in the top 10 came in 2006 when he was sixth.
"Pocono has historically not been one of my best tracks," said Biffle driver of the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "We had a good run there a couple of years ago and were in contention to win. We ended up with a sixth-place finish but I'd be happy if we could just have a run like that again this weekend. We've got momentum behind us right now and we just need to keep it. A top-five or even a solid top-10 finish in Pocono this weekend would keep the momentum going and then we can get ready for Michigan which is one of my favorite tracks."
The car his team is bringing to Pocono is a brand new car. In his two Cup races at Pocono last year, he was 23rd and 30th.
