Roush Country Spells Good News For The Biff
Team owner Jack Roush’s business ventures are headquartered in Livonia, Michigan, near the two-mile Brooklyn track.
So it makes sense that his team – Roush Fenway Racing – is so strong there. The team has 11 wins at Michigan, which ties the Wood Brothers for most all-time there.
Greg Biffle surely hopes to make it a record-breaking 12. Biffle currently sits 13th in points, and sorely needs a win to enter the Chase discussion. Biffle, one of six drivers who won last year but remains winless in 2011, likely needs a Wild Card berth to land a Chase spot.
