BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) - Greg Biffle has pulled out of the
Nationwide Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway because he bruised
his ribs.
Biffle says he was hurt while boating with friends. He says he
jumped from the dock to the boat, and his foot slipped on a wet
spot on the dock. He says he banged his right side on the side of
the boat.
Matt Kenseth will replace his Roush Fenway Racing teammate in
Saturday's race. Biffle is third in the Nationwide standings.
He is still on schedule to drive in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series
race at Bristol. Biffle is 10th in NASCAR's premier series.
