On Sunday, Greg Biffle will attempt to pad his lead atop the 2012 Sprint Cup Series standings. There's certainly a sense of importance in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway: Biffle currently lead by just two little points over second-place driver Matt Kenseth.
Biffle has a big advantage in the starting lineup, as he is slotted in at No. 4, while Kenseth is all the way down in the No. 20 position in the grid. Of course, since this is the longest race of the year, there will be plenty of time for things to develop and plenty of laps available to be led.
Fellow Washington driver Kasey Kahne is also sitting pretty, at No. 7 in the starting lineup. Kahne is all the way up to No. 16 in the standings and wants to continue making a push to the top 10.
Sunday's race begins at approximately 3:19 p.m. PT and will be televised nationally on FOX. If you wanted to listen on the radio, you can listen on the Performance Racing Network's Web site. You can also check PRN's site for a list of affiliate stations in your area.
