Biffle Gets First Win of the Season.
LOUDON, N.H. — Greg Biffle began the Chase for the Championship as a long shot.
At best.
Winless for almost a year and seeded a distant ninth in the 12-driver field, few considered him a serious contender. But “The Biff” never counted himself out, believing a strong run Sunday in the opener at New Hampshire [...]
