A Roush Fenway Ford may be in Victory Lane on Sunday but it maybe not the one you think.
While Carl Edwards leads the points standings, his RFR teammates Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle – one in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup and the other a non-qualifier – could be the drivers to watch in the AAA Texas 500.
Each has at least one victory at the 1.5-mile track. Kenseth, twice a winner in Ft. Worth, led 169 laps in racing to victory in the spring. That performance backed up a runner-up finish in Texas last fall.
Biffle, one of four 2010 winners yet to taste victory this season, ranks third in TMS Driver Rating (100.3) behind Kenseth (105.2) and Tony Stewart.
• Roush Fenway leads all owners in Texas victories with eight.
• Kenseth has nine top-five and 12 top-10 finishes at the track and ranks first in average finish (6.8). He ranks third in laps led (519). His start to finish differential – +8.9 positions – is a Texas best among Chase qualifiers.
• Biffle finished fourth in the Texas spring race; fifth in last year’s AAA Texas 500. He led the most recent three races and twice has led 200 plus laps. Biffle is the Texas Motor Speedway leader in two key Loop Data categories: laps led (619) and most fastest laps (384).
Both drivers have Texas victories in other NASCAR national series – Kenseth in NASCAR Nationwide and Biffle in NASCAR Camping World Trucks. Biffle clinched his NCWTS title at Texas in 2000.
