Who's Hot?

With so many variables affecting NASCAR drivers each week, all one needs is a little luck to catapult him to the top.

Take Greg Biffle for example, 2005 was a tremendous year. He finished the season 2nd in points and compiled 6 wins.  Roll the tape forward to the 2006 season, and Biffle's name hasn't graced the top 5 in any race until last week at Richmond.  What's the difference from last year and this year? Luck! Biffle's still attacks every race like a rabid dog, his crew is the same, and Roush Racing still churns out some of the best equipment in NASCAR.

It seems in the past two week's, Biffle has grabbed Lucky the Leprechaun and taped him to his dashboard. Last week, Biffle finished 4th in Richmond, and this week romanced the Lady in Black with a win. Perhaps Biffle's string of bad luck (running out of gas at Phoenix, getting wrecked by Kurt Busch at Texas) is finally over. He currently sits 97 points away from qualifying for the Nextel Cup Chase for the Championship, and excels at a number of the upcoming tracks.
