08/01/2010 -
Long Pond, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Greg Biffle ended a near two-year winless
streak in the Sprint Cup Series by taking Sunday's Sunoco Red Cross
Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway.
Biffle was not a factor for most of the race, but came on strong in the late-
stages. He took the lead from Sam Hornish Jr. just after the final restart
with 21 laps remaining, and then finished 3.5 seconds ahead of second-place
Tony Stewart for his 15th career Cup win, but his first since September 2008
at Dover, which was 64 races ago.
Carl Edwards finished third, while Kevin Harvick, the current points leader,
and Denny Hamlin, who had won the last two races at Pocono, rounded out the
top-five.
Biffle gave Ford its first win in the series this year.
The 500-mile race at Pocono was marred by two rain delays and a violent crash
involving Elliott Sadler and Kurt Busch with 36 laps remaining. Both drivers
were not injured.
