Greg Biffle continued his hot start in the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as the points leader extended his lead and notched his first victory of the year on Saturday night, winning the 2012 Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
NASCAR superstar Jimmie Johnson was in contention throughout the night and finished second. Biffle overtook Johnson late in the race with 31 laps to go. Johnson led 156 laps of the race, while Biffle led 90 -- including the last 30 of the race.
