Biffle Looks for Win Number Three in Texas
Greg Biffle drove his No. 16 Ford Fusion to a 17th– place finish last spring, under the lights at Texas Motor Speedway. Biffle started 19th and searched for grip over the 334-lap race. In his search, Biffle went a lap down to the field twice but was the “lucky dog” recipient towards the end of the race and went on from there to finish 17th.

Last Spring at Texas
Greg Biffle drove his No. 16 Ford Fusion to a 17th– place finish last spring, under the lights at Texas Motor Speedway. Biffle started 19th and searched for grip over the 334-lap race.

Last Fall at Texas
Biffle started the race 12th in his No. 16 Ford Fusion, but a flat right front under green cost him valuable track position. The unraveling tread also caused a hole in the cowl cover of his hood and created handling issues for the rest of the race, contributing to a 19th-place finish.
Local Connection
Robert Best, the underneath mechanic on the No. 16, is originally from Dallas, TX.
Biffle on Texas:
“I really enjoy racing at Texas. It’s been a good track for me in the past and Saturday night races are always exciting. Texas will be a good place to take what we’ve learned so far this season and see what we’ve got.”
