This Week in Ford Racing: Greg Biffle

Dover, Del. — Greg Biffle found himself battling two of his Roush Fenway Racing teammates for the win in last fall’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway. As the circuit returns there for this weekend’s Autism Speaks 400, Biffle spoke about winning that event and where his team stands from a performance standpoint this year.

GREG BIFFLE – NO. 16 3M FORD FUSIONIS DOVER GOING TO BE A BENCHMARK SINCE YOU, CARL [EDWARDS] AND MATT [KENSETH] ALL BATTLED FOR THE WIN THERE LAST FALL?“It is, and that discussion came up last week about our short-track program not being as strong as it has been. We’re looking at each other concerned about Dover. Are we gonna run good at Dover? How competitive are our cars gonna be? Or is it going to show up there that we’ve slid just a little bit and we’re not as fast as we were a year ago because we haven’t been at Richmond and Phoenix and some other places? So is Dover gonna be a place that we’re not gonna be the top three dogs?”
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT DOVER?“It’s just fun. It’s like a big Bristol—concrete, high-banked, and it’s rough. It’s a driver’s race track, sort of like Darlington or Bristol, and those tough race tracks are fun to drive on.”

WHAT WAS IT LIKE BATTLING MATT AND CARL FOR THE WIN LAST FALL?“The battle with my teammates last year was pretty incredible. We’ve had some close calls and then we’ve had some close calls we didn’t make it out of as good, so that was really fun to battle Carl and Matt for the win and us touching together down the backstretch, and I was able to get up beside him. It was definitely intense and made it more intense that it was my teammates.”
