Juan Pablo Montoya admitted on Friday that he’s not necessarily his son’s number one fan.

“My son is actually a huge Kyle Busch fan,” Montoya admitted. “I’m not lying. If you go look at my motorhome, I just got an M&M hood that I’m going to put in his room. I have to put a Target one up as well.

“It’s incredible. He understands what I do. (My daughter), not so much. But the boy knows. He’ll tell you who drives a car, what car.

“Like with Kyle, it’s actually pretty funny. When Kyle drives the Nationwide car, he knows what car it is. When he drives a truck, he knows what car it is. It’s kind of freaky.”

Sunday’s Ford 400 will be Greg Biffle's final opportunity to find victory lane for the first time this season. Biffle has won at least one Cup race each year since becoming a regular in NASCAR top touring series in 2003.

“It makes me hurt to think about how many we’ve come close to (winning this year, such as) running out of gas at Michigan, and stopping on the air hose at California, even though we were still in the pit box,” Biffle said. “There’s been about four or five. Kansas, we took four tires instead of two and (Tony Stewart) beat us.

“It’s been very difficult. But they’re not easy to win, either, and it would be very disappointing to go a season without winning a race since I’ve been able to win every year. I don’t think there’s a driver in our sport that’s ever done that to date.

“Unfortunately, I’ve got one chance left, and that’s here on Sunday.”
