Biffle Looks to get Back on Track at Talladega
Greg Biffle once again flexed his fuel saving muscles and almost left Talladega Superspeedway with the win Sunday afternoon. Biffle stayed out while others pitted and had saved enough fuel to make it to the end when a caution came out and an extended cleanup period ensued. Biffle had to relinquish the lead and come down pit road for fuel due to the extra cleanup time. Biffle was able to make up a few positions on the race ending green-white-checkered finish to cross the finish line 20th.

ADVANCE NOTES
Biffle at Talladega
Biffle has 27 Sprint Cup Series starts at Talladega, earning three top-five and six top-10 finishes.
Talladega – May 2016
Things happen quickly at Superspeedway racing and in an effort to avoid “the big one”, Greg Biffle spent a majority of the 188-lap race at the back of the field. The strategy almost paid off, but towards the end Biffle’s No. 16 Ford was a magnet for wrecks. After being a part of “the big one” and two other wrecks that followed, the crew was still able to make the necessary repairs to salvage a 20th-place finish Sunday afternoon at Talladega.

Biffle on Talladega:
“Talladega is always exciting, always full of unknowns and I think the key to success is track position at the end. Picking the right lane, Talladega is super wide; we can be four or five wide coming to the start/finish line. You never know what’s going to happen.”
