Greg Biffle: Wizard

Greg Biffle pulled off a truly awesome move around the entire field at Talladega, avoiding the 25 car pileup to finish sixth. These screenshots only begin to tell the tale. Keep an eye on the 3M car if you find yourself Youtubing the wreck or catching a replay. It was truly championship caliber driving when he needed it most, after a shaky day that involved a couple close calls and near-disasters.

In his post race comments, Biffle lamented the lack of in-car camera, saying his view would've given ESPN some "million dollar shots." ESPN stayed true to form, promptly ignoring his accomplishment and failing to comment on or shine a spotlight on what he did.

Ladies and gentlemen, after displaying his ability to disappear in a cloud of Smoke when faced with a near-certain catastrophe and reemerge on the other side unscathed, I am forced to conclude that Greg Biffle is a wizard of some sort.
