A pattern has developed over the past two years at Darlington.
The pattern is a simple one: A Greg Biffle win followed by a Greg Biffle win.
During a press conference this week during testing at Charlotte’s Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Biffle adamantly proclaimed his love for the historic South Carolina track.
But the trend of Biffle dominance is, at best, a question mark going into this weekend. The unknown is the Car of Tomorrow, which will run on its longest track to date – 1.366 miles (the previous longest was Phoenix at one mile).
Biffle has tremendous statistics at Darlington in the non-COT over the past two years. But after four races in the COT, Biffle has had up and down efforts.
The question this Saturday night: which Biffle will show up? Will it be the Biffle who has owned Darlington the past two years? Will it be the Biffle who has struggled in the COT? Or will it be a combination of both?
First take a look at some of the startling stats Biffle has accumulated over the past two years at Darlington. His average Driver Rating at Darlington is an amazing 143.8. If you took any driver’s two best Driver Ratings from any track, only one driver has a better average than Biffle at Darlington:
