CONCORD, N.C. -- Sprint Cup Series driver Greg Biffle intends to pull some unusual double duty this weekend when he takes to the quarter-mile at zMAX Dragway for Saturday's PINKS All Out.

Weather permitting, Biffle will qualify his No. 16 Ford in Talladega on Saturday morning, fly to Concord, N.C., then bring his 2007 Shelby GT 500 to the zMAX Dragway to compete in an exhibition competition that will be featured on PINKS All Outtakes on SPEED.

"I am so excited about it," said Biffle, who used to drag race in eighth-mile "grudge matches" as a teenager in Vancouver, Wash. "I've always loved PINKS because it's fun to watch for anyone who really loves cars. It was cool when they raced for titles and still very cool with PINKS All Out, where they race for money."

In addition to competing on Saturday, Biffle will also serve as a guest technical advisor for the PINKS All Out on-air team which includes host Rich Christensen.

"I never thought I'd be able to do this because they race on weekends and obviously I'm always racing on weekends," Biffle continued.

"This time, it worked out for me to leave Talladega after qualifying on Saturday, so that's what I'm going to do. I can't wait. It's going to be fun."
