FONTANA, Calif. (AP) -- Greg Biffle's engine had a sporadic cough, he was losing oil pressure, had hot air blowing in his face -- and he still won Saturday's Busch Series race at California Speedway.
"The guys never gave up and I never gave up," said Biffle, a former Busch Series champion who won his second race of the season and the 13th of his career.
Biffle's car was far from perfect, though.
Besides the mysterious engine and oil pressure problems he overcame, his personal cooling system stopped working on the 90-degree afternoon.
"With about 50 laps to go, it was like somebody flipped a switch and I had a hair dryer in my face," Biffle said. "Must have been a hose coming off the floorbox and hot air was coming off the floorboards."
