Roush Nationwide teams on different agendas at PIR

Roush Fenway Racing is on a roll as far as Nationwide Series racing at Phoenix International Raceway is concerned. The team has a total of seven wins in the series at PIR, including the last three Nationwide events there. With that string, the team can boast being the defending winner of Friday night's Bashas' Supermarkets 200 at PIR.

However, that win a year ago came courtesy of Greg Biffle. Biffle will be in the race field on Friday night, but he'll be piloting the No. 27 entry of Baker Curb Racing, not driving for Roush. For Roush Fenway to claim a fourth-straight PIR Nationwide win, it'll be up to Carl Edwards, Paul Menard, Colin Braun, or Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to get to victory lane.

Roush Fenway's best chance to continue its string of PIR Nationwide wins will probably come from Edwards. While Biffle is the defending race winner, Edwards is the most recent Nationwide winner at PIR, visiting victory lane there last fall.
