Biffle finished season on high note -- again.

Greg Biffle is getting used to winning and being overlooked at Homestead-Miami Speedway. On Sunday, for the third straight year, Biffle won the season finale and watched the series champion get most of the attention. This time it was Jimmie Johnson, who finished ninth and wrapped up his first series title, standing in the spotlight while Biffle was mostly ignored. The media horde was mostly interested in drivers involved in the championship battle. Biffle shrugged off the cold shoulder. ``I still get the check and I still get the trophy and, when we go to Daytona in February, I'm the most recent winner,'' Biffle said, smiling. His second victory of the year and the 11th of his career was a big one for Biffle, who has struggled most of this season after being the series runner-up in 2005. ``It does a lot for us,'' Biffle said. ``Everybody knows this has been a tough year for us. It seems like we haven't been in the right place at the right time and then haven't had fast enough race cars and have had mechanical failures.'' Biffle has won the Homestead race each of the last three years. ``I'll tell you this Ford Fusion was awesome. This is the same car I've won with three years in a row.'' A year ago, Biffle was one of five Roush Racing drivers who made it into the 10-man Chase. This season, only two of the Roush Fords made it into the Chase and only runner-up Matt Kenseth was able to stay in contention to the end. Team owner Jack Roush announced last week that he will shake things up over the offseason, switching crew chiefs on several cars, including Biffle's. Pat Tryson will move from the No. 6, which has been driven by Mark Martin, to work with Biffle, while current Biffle crew chief Doug Richert will get another job in the Roush organization. ``I love Doug,'' Biffle said. ``We're good friends. We just didn't hit it off like we needed to this year and we're hoping to bring good things with Pat next year. ``We're going to test (at) Las Vegas the 6th and 7th of December and we're ready to get going on next year already.''
