Biffle does it again

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series points leader Greg Biffle dominated the Michigan 200 Saturday by leading 90 of 100 laps to defend his 1999 victory. The race was Biffle's fifth win of the season and the 14th of his career. Fords swept the top three with Roush teammate Kurt Busch finishing second and Mike Wallace third. Biffle now has a 193 point lead over second-place Wallace in the points race. Rounding out the top-five were Andy Houston in fourth and last week's winner, Dennis Setzer in fifth.

Jamie McMurray fared well in his debut the #41 TKO Motorsports Dodge and made a fashion statement along the way. McMurray piloted the Dodge to a sixth-place finish, the team's best finish since '96 and his first career top-10; however, the 5'6" McMurray looked out of place in a firesuit originally designed for 6'3" Randy Renfrow, the team's former driver. Renfrow's name on the firesuit was covered by a white piece of duct tape.

Twelve trucks finished on the lead lap. Other trucks completing 100 laps were Rick Crawford in seventh, Marty Houston in eighth, Terry Cook in ninth, Randy Tolsma in 10th, Scott Riggs in 11th, and Jimmy Hensley in 12. Jack Sprague finished 13th, the first driver a lap down.
