Biffle claimed his first of two poles in 2006 when he topped time trials at Las Vegas. This pole was an important one for Biffle as he had failed to qualify for the Vegas race during his rookie season in 2003.
Biffle finished 15th last weekend at California and currently sits ninth in the point standings, 73 points out of the lead and five points out of eighth.
Prior to the race in Vegas, Biffle plans to spend some time fishing with his Dad and some friends in Mexico.

Biffle on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“We had a really good test at Las Vegas a few weeks ago. I feel confident in saying we had a top-five car and if we can get the handling where we need it this weekend we should be a contender for the win. I’ve had some success at Vegas in both the Cup and Nationwide Series and it’s one of my favorite tracks and cities. Aside from the racing, I like to get out to the casinos if I can and play some craps. I’d definitely rather gamble at the craps table than have to do it at the track with the setup or pit strategy. Sometimes it pays off though.”
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking the car that Greg liked the best from the California and Vegas tests. He felt that it ran better at Vegas than it did at California so we saved it for this weekend. We were in the top five for most of the test and we mostly focused on race setup. We were still running top-10 times in race setup when pretty much everybody else was making qualifying runs. We’re going to focus on getting the car to turn through the corners all day and if we can do that, I think we’ll be alright.”
