My unhappiness with Greg Biffle..

Robby Gordon made me unhappy a few weeks ago and now, so has Greg Biffle. The sad part is, I used to like "The Biff." This time though, even my parents understand why I am so mad at him.

2 weeks ago, Nascar Nationwide Series was in Fontana at Auto Club Speedway. Joey Logano was on the pole, his teammate, Kyle Busch was starting next to him in second and Biffle was starting 14th. Usually, the two Joe Gibbs Racing teammates are the two everyone is chasing, but this weekend, Kyle wasn't much of a threat to anyone. Kyle was sick with a fever but still started the race so he would get the points and Denny Hamlin (Joey and Kyle's teammate on the cup side) was standing by for when the first caution came out.

Kyle got the lead from Joey after a few laps and led until that caution came out on lap 36. When everyone came in for tires, Kyle got out of the car and the crew helped to get Denny buckeled up and then change the tires. They re-started in the back of the pack. Meanwhile, Joey was in the front getting a lead on everyone except for one. Biffle was a little bit faster than Joey and caught up to him.

Once Biffle had caught up to Joey, the battle for the lead began. Joey was up against the wall and Biffle was on the inside of him. Then, Biffle hit Joey and Joey went into the wall and lost the lead and many more spots as everyone started to pass him because of the damage to the right side of his car. At this point, I was a little upset but that happens a lot, I figured that Biffle just got loose.

At the time when Biffle hit Joey, Jeff Gordon was with the announcers talking about the Chase. Jeff said that Biffle was too good of a driver to do that on accident. Then the announcers decided to listen to the Joey radio. Joey was screaming because Biffle put him into the wall. Then they listened the Biffle radio. He said that Joey came down on him and he didn't do anything wrong. Now I was wondering about what had happened.

While Joey was getting the damage fixed on his car, there was a new threat on the track. Denny Hamlin, in Kyle's car, had made his way back to the front and was now in a 3 way battle with Biffle and Keselowski. All of a sudden, Denny got a little loose and wrecked himself and Biffle. Keselowski got by without hitting them and so did Carl Edwards and Joey. Joey came back on that restart and won the race, his second win in two weeks.

I was watching the after race stuff to see if they said anything about Biffle and what I heard made me so mad. A lap before Joey and Biffle got together, Biffle told his crew cheif on the radio that he was going to put Joey into the wall. >:(

Later in the week, Biffle said that he was sorry for putting joey into the wall but Joey had a lot to learn about respect for vetern drivers. He said, "I didn't run im into the fence on purpose. I just meant to put a little squeeze on him like he did to me at Kansas." Later, he said to Joey, "I think you need to pay a little more respect to the veterans in this sport." My response to that - the young guys do need respect for the veterens but the veterens also have to have respect for the young guys. It goes both ways.

Joey is in the blue and orange Toyota and Biffle is in the blue ford.

And just a little side note, karma came back around to Biffle in the Sprint Cup Race the following day when he and Kasey kahne crashed. And Biffle is in the Chase so that hurt him a lot.
