Greg Biffle battled a loose-handling No. 16 Cheez-It Ford Saturday evening under the lights at Richmond International Raceway to a 31st-place finish. The loose handling condition plagued the team in practice and contributed to a 38th-place qualifying effort.

In the final race to make the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase for the Cup, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. gambled at the end to take the wave around to join the other 13 cars on the lead lap but newer tires prevailed forcing Stenhouse to settle for a 16th-place finish in Saturday nights’ Federated Auto Parts 400.

Trevor Bayne, driver of the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion, earned a 23rd-place finish on Saturday night in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) event at Richmond International Raceway.
