Quote selected text Published July 28th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Jason Leffler took the lead with two laps to go in the Kroger 200 and raced to his second NASCAR Busch Series victory on Saturday night.
Greg Biffle led in lap 191 before a caution brought the field together. Leffler took the lead in lap 197, then jockeyed with Biffle for a while before finishing strong at O’Reilly Raceway Park.
Leffler last won on June 12, 2004 in the Federated Auto Parts 300 in Nashville. Biffle hasn’t won this season, and had only one top-five finish in 18 starts before Saturday’s race.

TOYOTA WINS at last. Wonder what Toyota Racing gave Leffler for being the 1st Bush car to score a win, Big $$ or a little Toyota car.
Leffler said in pre race he had some ideas on how to win this race but I didn’t hear him mention any 8 wheel slide jobs like he put on Biffle. That was great racing in the end of the race. I’m sure Biffle didn’t think so though…
Busch series today, Sprint Cup tomorrow!
Good to see them get one. Just because they’ve won a race doesn’t mean the series belongs to them. Just because they pour alot of money into there program doesn’t mean they will rule the sport
