Quote selected text Published December 8th, 2006 in NASCAR News
Greg Biffle dislocated his shoulder when he crashed his No. 16 Ford during a tire test at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this week.
Biffle said he cut a right-front tire and hit the wall. The impact knocked the fuel pump off the car, resulting in some fire. Biffle was not burned. Kyle Busch, also participating in the test, stopped his car and helped Biffle climb out.
Biffle said Friday his doctors asked him to stay in North Carolina for further assessment of the injury, preventing him from attending the Busch Series awards banquet in Orlando.

Update on Greg and his Tire Test in Las Vegas
This is the update on Greg from Nicole.
Greg is back home in North Carolina and has gone to see a doctor this morning. He has a dislocated shoulder, sore ribs, and a concussion. He had a MRI done on his head and neck. He is going back for an MRI on his shoulder. Right now he is in a fair amount of pain.
As for what happened on track. Greg said this is the worst wreck he has had. The tire blew going into turn one and he was knocked out, he said he came back in the middle of the back stretch where he had to get out of the car because it was on fire. The first one to get to him was Kyle Busch.
Greg was suppose to be at the Busch banquet tonight. However due to the wreck and everything that has come from it. Greg will not be there.
