Greg Biffle Wins Kansas

Greg Biffle won the Price Chopper 400 NASCAR race at Kansas Speedway and at some other track, another race for second was taking place.  Biffle was way out in front by several seconds, in front of 2nd finisher Jimmie Johnson.  It’s good to see “The Biff” get another win.

The race saw 12 different leaders, with Tony Stewart leading the most laps.  (Lap leaders:  Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Paul Menard, Jamie McMurray, Jeff Burton, Patrick Carpentier, Kasey Kahne & Michael McDowell)  The pole sitter, Kasey kahne, lost a tire then drove the car too hard on a flat tire and destroyed his fender, taking himsefl out of the race.  What was he thinking!?

Here were the top-15 finishers in the Price Chopper 400:

1 Greg Biffle
2 Jimmie Johnson
3 Kevin Harvick
4 Tony Stewart
5 Jeff Gordon
6 Carl Edwards
7 Matt Kenseth
8 Paul Menard
9 Ryan Newman
10 A.J. Allmendinger
11 Jamie McMurray
12 Denny Hamlin
13 Kurt Busch
14 Mark Martin
15 Clint Bowyer
