Greg Biffle hasn’t won in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since Kansas in the fall of 2010 (49 races ago), but Friday Biffle mentioned that he likes his chances at finding victory lane in the coming weeks.
“Any time is a good time to win a race. These are some good opportunities for us in Texas and Kansas which are two great tracks for us,” Biffle said during his weekly press conference. “We ran, in our standards, fairly well at Martinsville being top-10 most of the day. Unfortunately there at the end with the 10 car and the way the cautions fell and the lucky dog we ended up 13th. This is a race track and we have a great lineup all the way through Darlington and Dover, all these race tracks, that we think we can win at. It is important for us to win. We are trying and we were off a little bit at Vegas. Hopefully we will be on the money here.”
Biffle has come on like gang-busters since the 2012 season began, and it caught most of us by surprise after his lackluster 2011 effort. Through six races in 2012 he has an average finish of 6.8 — his average finish in 2011? 16.8. Matt Puccia has become an unsung hero at crew chief, and he is seemingly the only change on the No. 16 team since last season. Biffle has no worries just yet of reaching victory lane, but how much longer can he go before he starts to get nervous about not finding victory lane?
