Greg Biffle won the inaugural Pennzoil Platinum Victory Challenge – a/k/a “the burnout contest” — the opening event in Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race XXIV festivities.
Biffle defeated four other drivers – Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick – to claim honors in the event, which featured drivers doing burnouts and 360-degree spins known as “donuts.”
“It was awesome and I gave them a little slide job over here around the Legends track, so the fans loved it,” said Biffle. “They want to see the smoke and the excitement and I think they saw that.”
Biffle said he was going to donate the $10,000 first-place money to his Greg Biffle Foundation. “We support a lot of animal shelters,” said Biffle. “We’re getting ready to build a shelter in South Iredell (N.C.) County right now, in the Mooresville area, so Friends of the Animal Board, we’ve been working on it for about a year-and-a-half. We’re excited and just getting ready to launch that thing and get it going.”
What about doing this again next year? Biffle has some ideas. “I want to bring one of my cars because I think the fans would get really juiced up about us bringing our stuff out here and doing it,” he said. “That would be pretty cool for them to see that. I’m talking about one of my personal cars. If Goodyear would bring us some tires, I would bring my Shelby GT500 car. It’s got a lot of power and it would look cool out there laying down some rubber and some smoke.”
