Biffle runs out of gas, costs self a shot at win

Greg Biffle was looking good with 52 to laps to go in the Sam's Town 300 at Las Vegas mOtor Speedway but as he was passing car after car, the No. 16 Citifinancial Ford began to sputter and Biffle was out of fuel.

Coming around the track, he could only coast to the pits and then he stalled the car trying to leave pit road. The incident likely took away any shot that Biffle had of redeeming himself for a poor performance on pit road last week at California.

With only 3 laps left in the race, the cars are beginning to make their final green flag put stops. According to the leader board, there are only nine cars on the lead lap.

Denny Hamlin inherited the lead when Biffle ran out of fuel but NASCAR busted him for speeding on pit road and now he is running two laps down in 14th place.
