NASCAR 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 familiar No. 16 Roush Fenway Racing Ford in Talladega Saturday morning, fly to Concord, N.C., then bring his 2007 Shelby GT 500 to the Bellagio of drag strips 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.

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.
   
"On top of that, zMAX Dragway is a first-rate drag strip. It's the
only one I know of with four lanes and to see four-wide drag racing on
Saturday is going to be unbelievable. It's just an incredible new facility.
I raced there last fall with the same car, but I expect the competition
level to be a lot higher this time."
   
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."
   
Officials at zMAX Dragway expect Saturday's taping of PINKS All Out
to be a sellout by Saturday morning. Advance ticket sales have been better
than expected with drag racing fans lining up to take part in the taping of
SPEED's wildly successful program and witness history with the first-ever
nationally televised four-wide drag race. A limited number of
standing-room-only tickets will be sold once grandstand seating is gone.
