Columbus, Ga. (Oct. 2, 2007) - Aflac Racing driver Greg Biffle piloted his No. 16 Aflac Ford Fusion to its first victory during the LifeLock 400 at Kansas Speedway. The Sept. 30 race also marked Aflac's final race of the 2007 season. This was Biffle's 12th win in his six-year career in NASCAR Nextel Cup Series racing.
"Our partnership with NASCAR presents an opportunity where the Aflac Duck and motorsports fans can unite," said Paul S. Amos II, president, Aflac; COO, U.S. Operations. "On behalf of everyone at Aflac, I'd like to congratulate Greg and his Roush Fenway Race team on their victory."
"It was an exciting race," added Biffle. "And I'm proud that the Aflac Duck was with me for the victory. I'd like to thank everyone for their support!"
Biffle led the last 36 laps before the race ended early under caution because of darkness, shaving 85 miles off the race.
Biffle is one of four Aflac Racing drivers for 2007, each showcasing a unique paint scheme on his car featuring the Aflac Duck. Aflac is the official supplemental insurance sponsor of NASCAR.
