In a role reversal from last week’s race in Pocono, Greg Biffle held off a late charge from Jimmie Johnson to take home the victory Sunday at the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway. But, he got a little help. Johnson started 10th on the race’s final restart, and had been reeling Biffle in throughout that final run...

The big news in NASCAR this week is Dale Earnhardt Jr. will not be competing in the upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Kansas Speedway after being diagnosed with a concussion.

NASCAR heads to Texas this weekend.  Friday night qualifying found Martin Truex, Jr.  setting fast time, winning the pole for Saturday night's Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.  Truex turned a qualifying speedway of 190.369 mph in his Michael Watrip-owned Toyota.  Last year's winner, Matt Kenseth will start second.

Greg Biffle has started the 2012 NASCAR season very consistently.  Three great third-place finishes in a row in the first three NASCAR races of season.  That consistency has taken Biffle to the top of the Sprint Cup Series point standings.  Now he will start from the number one starting spot at Bristol Motor Speedway as he qualified for the pole in Sunday's Food City 500 race.
