It equaled his best showing here from last year. Greg Biffle of Vancouver led three times for seven laps and finished 10th -- a career best in this race.</p><p>"It's a strong day for us today and hopefully it is like that all year long," said Kahne, who has new sponsor Budweiser aboard his No. 9 Dodge and is hoping to snap a year-long winless streak.</p><p>Biffle, a former Daytona 500 polesitter, was similarly pleased with the day. <p><a href="http://www.mammothblog.com/index.cfm/2008/2/18/Daytona-Notebook-Kahne-Biffle-both-finish-in-top-10">Read More</a></p> ADMINnoreply@blogger.com
