DOVER, Del. (AP) — Greg Biffle made it 2-for-2 in the Chase for the championship, making another late pass — this time with nine laps to go — and holding off Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards on Sunday.
Roush Fenway Racing teammates Biffle, Kenseth and Edwards engaged in a thrilling run over the final 20 laps at Dover International Speedway, but Biffle made another textbook move to the outside late to pull away.
"That was probably the best race I've seen in a long time," Kenseth said. "You hate to get beat when you're in those battles."
Biffle, the winner last week at New Hampshire after passing Jimmie Johnson with 12 laps left, is third in the Chase points standings. Biffle and Johnson are both 10 points behind Edwards for the lead, but Johnson holds the tiebreaker.
"I knew deep down inside the Roush cars had something special and were going to be tough to beat," Johnson said.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kyle Busch eggs on the jeering pre-race crowd in his role as NASCAR's latest "Bad Boy."
The usual noise he hears after races this year are the sounds of celebration. Busch can tune out those boos when a crew is whooping it up, confetti is falling all over him and victory drinks are spraying in his direction.
No matter the series, the track or crowd reaction, nothing has slowed down Busch this season.
Busch led the way again, dominating the second half of the 400-mile race Sunday at Dover International Speedway and charging to his Sprint Cup series-best fourth win of the season — and 10th overall.
"That darned 18 car got us again," said runner-up Carl Edwards.
