"It was a tough day," Biffle said. "We were back and forth all day, and we were off just a bit. When the track had a lot of grip the car was unbelievable."
Kevin Harvick was sixth, followed by Earnhardt and Kahne, giving Hendrick Motorsports at least three cars in the top-10 for the second straight week.

Jeff Gordon had engine trouble late in the race and finished 21st.
The 14-race drought for Hendrick is its longest since going 15 races without a win during the 2002 and ‘03 seasons. The streak began after Johnson’s win last October at Kansas.
"Everybody here needs a win for one reason or another," Earnhardt said. "We’re all working really hard, but I’m not really focusing on homing in on that too heavily. You’ve got to think about what your car’s doing and what you need to do to help your car.
"Make your car faster, then the wins eventually take care of themselves."
The pressure will continue to mount on the four-car team, though. And when Johnson was asked whether he’ll be relieved when someone gets the win, his reply came through unvarnished: "More than you could ever imagine," he said.
