#60-Greg Biffle dominated the late stages of Saturday’s Diamond Hill Plywood 200, leading the final 43 of 147 laps, en route to a 3.115-second victory over Roush Racing teammate #9-Jeff Burton. It’s the 12th career win for Biffle and first since winning at Atlanta last fall. Biffle’s previous best finish at Darlington was second in the spring race in 2002. Biffle is one of three drivers – #38-Kasey Kahne and #27-Johnny Sauter are the others – running full schedules in Busch and Nextel Cup this season. #37-David Green finished third, #8-Martin Truex Jr. was fourth and #30-David Stremme completed the top five. #21-Kevin Harvick, who is not running the full schedule, remains the series points leader. Green is second, 26 behind. Saturday was the first race at Darlington since SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barriers were installed over the winter. The walls took away up to 30 inches of the racing groove in the turns. The race was slowed four times by caution for 23 laps. There were 14 lead changes among seven drivers. Biffle led the most laps (67).(ThatsRacin.com)
