Greg Biffle quietly inching towards top-10 record

[TeamBlueOval]

In 2005, Jimmie Johnson reeled off seven consecutive top-10 finishes to start the season. It has been 18 years since a driver has started the season with eight in a row (Terry Labonte in 1992).

Greg Biffle is inching closer; he took 10th at Martinsville, his sixth top-10 finish in a string that started in the Daytona 500 (third). Biffle's average finish this season is 7.5 -- three 10th-place finishes (Fontana, Las Vegas, Martinsville), one eighth-place finish (Atlanta), one fourth-place finish (Bristol) and the third-place finish at Daytona.

Who holds the record for the most consecutive top-10s to start a season? Morgan Shepherd, with 11 in 1990.

With Phoenix and Texas coming up... I can certainly foresee Greg getting two more top-10s, at the least. Talladega, of course, will throw a wrench into things...

Morgan Shepherd? Wow, Jesus wasn't his copilot- he WAS the pilot lol

I was pretty shocked that Morgan had that record as well... he could certainly wheel a car back when he was about 25 years younger... ;) He still does a pretty good job out there at age 60+! :)

Morgan Shepherd, wow. Bif is starting off really well, which is a good sign because he usually finishes the season strong as well.

Morgan was a great driver back in the day. Unfortunately no one wants to sponsor a guy his age because he didn't race for a number of years.

So glad the media is picking this up... Thats awesome....

Morgan used to be a pretty solid driver back in the day, but I'm still surprised he is the record holder of that.
