Biffle to Start 28th on Saturday Night in Richmond

Richmond, VA. (April 27, 2012) - After turning in the second-fastest time during practice, Greg Biffle and the 3M team were confident they would be able to put the 3M/Give Kids a Smile Ford at the front of the field for the start of the race.  Biffle was the next-to-last driver to take the track for time trials and turned in a lap time of 21.356 seconds.  That time puts him in the 28th position for the start of Saturday night's race.  Mark Martin, who went out last, took the pole with a time of 21.040 seconds.
 
"We just lacked overall grip," said Biffle.  "I'm not entirely sure what happened out there but we just didn't have enough grip to lay down a fast enough lap."
 
Tune in to live coverage of the race tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
