Greg Biffle Becomes NASCAR’s First “Burnout” Winner
Greg Biffle won Saturday night’s Burnout Competition, the first of its kind by NASCAR, and as a result was awarded $10,000 for the Greg Biffle Foundation for his efforts. He ran the duration of the course in only 25.406 seconds, which was good enough to get the win over second-place Clint Bowyer.
Jimmie Johnson clocked an unofficial time of 69.017 seconds after having 20 seconds worth of penalties added to his time. “I wasn’t worried about the technical aspect of it,” he said. “I just wanted to have fun.”
Kevin Harvick followed Johnson’s lead and also put on a show, parking his car up against the outside wall and smoking his tires after he had run the course. And, of course, Kyle Busch appeased the fans by standing atop his car and giving a bow to the crowd following his run.

Adam, my original post actually included videos of all five burnouts … however, I chose not to use all that bandwidth due to a post I have going up in the morning.
