Cup Numbers: Homestead (cont'd)

• Greg Biffle: As the winner of the past three races at Homestead, Biffle has been the Chase appetizer to the main course celebrations of first Kurt Busch (2004), then Stewart (2005) and finally Johnson (2006).

Biffle and Stewart, who won the first two races at HMS in 1999 and 2000, are the only multiple winners there. Biffle's three wins at HMS are his most at any one track and account for one-fourth of his 12 career victories.

Biffle's average finish at Homestead, however, is 12.6 thanks to finishes of 25 and 35 (crash) in his first two starts there.

• Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Never has Earnhardt raced a full season, beginning in 2000, without winning at least once. He's one race away from that being the case in 2007 in his final start in the No. 8 car of Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Junior's last season at DEI came up short of the Chase and in fact he has more DNFs (nine) than top-fives (seven).

It doesn't look promising at Homestead, either. Earnhardt doesn't have a top-10 in seven career starts there and his best finish (13th) came in his first race in 2000. He did lead 47 laps last year but finished 19th for the second consecutive race there. His average finish there is 19.1.
