Biffle’s breakout year

Greg Biffle roared through the early stages of his NASCAR career. Biffle gave Jack Roush his first NASCAR season title in 2000 by winning the Trucks Series, two years after he was the rookie of the year. Then came the natural progression to the Nationwide Series, where Biffle (pictured right) won another rookie of the year award and followed immediately with the 2002 season championship before moving up again. A decade later, Biffle is still trying to become the first driver to complete the NASCAR title trio. This could finally be the year for the re-energized Biffle, a Vancouver, Wash., native who is coming off a victory at Texas that reinforced his standing as the early-season Sprint Cup points leader. – Associated Press
