Earlier this Season at Texas
Greg Biffle started off Saturday evening’s race at Texas Motor Speedway from the 14th position in his No. 16 Ford Fusion. The team made different chassis and air adjustments during the race in an effort to find grip and just as they were making gains on-track contact from another car sent Biffle into the outside wall. Biffle’s evening was cut short and the accident resulted in a 39th-place finish.
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.

Biffle on Texas:
