DARLINGTON, S.C. - Greg Biffle’s chances of winning a race he dominated appeared gone after his Roush Racing team made some late-race changes. But a timely spin by Mark Martin (some would have you believe it was an evil Roush plot or black magic as practiced by FoxSports) and four fresh tires were all Biffle needed to win Saturday night’s NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Darlington Raceway under the green-white-checker rule.

“The second to last run there we tried some tire pressure things and got my car way too loose,” Biffle said. “I thought, ‘Why in the world would we wait until the last run to try something?’ It went the wrong way, but we recovered from that.”

The 35-year-old driver from Vancouver, Wash., gave team owner Jack Roush his fifth victory in the first 10 races of the season. Defending series champion Kurt Busch and Edwards have each won one race for Roush in 2005.
