Tenacious Driver:

Jack Roush picked up Greg Biffle back in the mid 90's with the idea that with some seasoning he could be great.

Just a few years later Greg rewarded Roush Racing with it's first NASCAR championship as Greg pushed and shoved his way to the Craftsman Truck Series title. A couple of years after that Greg again came through, this time delivering a Busch Grand National series championship.

Now early in his NEXTEL Cup career Greg has proven that he can get the job done. His first victory in NASCAR's premier division came under the lights in Daytona as Greg won the Pepsi 400 during his 2003 rookie campaign.

Are there more championships in Greg's future? Those stories are still to be written but clearly he knows what it takes to win titles and he is with a top-notch team in the form of Jack Roush.
