It's not like things have been going the way he wanted to start with this season. Greg Biffle heads to Pocono Raceway 23rd in the Sprint cup standings and seeking his first top-10 finish of the season.
And he does so without his crew chief. Brian Pattie was suspended two races after Biffle's car failed post-race inspection following Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. On Wednesday, NASCAR announced that Pattie will miss races this week at Pocono Raceway and the following week at Michigan International Speedway. He has been fined $50,000 and the team lost 15 driver and owner points in the standings, pushing Biffle to his current overall position.
