Biffle Shoots to the Top in Texas

Greg Biffle came from the back of the pack to dominate the ultra fast Texas Motor Speedway oval and claim the Samsung/Radio Shack 500

Biffle's win was the fourth win for Roush Racing at the 1.5 mile oval, and has moved him to within striking distance of Jimmie Johnson in the points chase for the Nextel Cup.

Ryan Newman led the pack away from the green flag, with Biffle starting at effectively the back of the field in 41st position. Within laps Jeremy Mayfield had taken the lead, staying there until the first round of stops.

Sterling Martin claim the lead out of the pits, holding the position for twelve laps before Tony Stewart took Mayfield and Martin after a caution period, with Biffle the fastest charging driver in the field.

The hard work paid off - Biffle took the lead from Stewart on lap 87, pushing on and building a lead to get him through the remainder of the race. It worked - Biffle was never headed for more than one lap after green racing stops, greeting the chequered flag 246 laps later after a display of controlled aggression, ahead of Busch racer Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears and Jimmie Johnson.
