NASCAR driver Greg Biffle to appear at Team Ford Lincoln

Team Ford Lincoln in the northwest valley will welcome NASCAR veteran driver Greg Biffle of the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion from Roush Fenway Racing from 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Biffle will sign autographs and help kick off the dealership's Supercharged Race to Savings event.

Biffle came to Roush Fenway Racing from the short tracks of the Northwest and quickly made a name for himself when he took the 1998 Rookie of the Year Award in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He went on to win the truck series championship two years later and captured the Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year honor in 2001.

In 2002, Biffle became the first driver to win both the Craftsman Truck and Nationwide Series championships. He accomplished a lifelong goal in 2002 at Daytona with his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory. In 2003, Biffle added two more wins to his Cup record but nothing would compare to the 2005 season when he ran away with five wins in the first 15 races. Biffle added one more victory at Homestead, Fla., to become the winningest driver of the 2005 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. He finished second in the points to Tony Stewart, missing his third NASCAR Championship by only 35 points.

He recently finished in third place at the 2012 Daytona 500.

Team Ford Lincoln, at U.S. Highway 95 and Ann Road, is the No. 1 Ford dealership in Nevada for four years in a row.
