CONCORD, N.C. - Greg Biffle had an admonition for Nextel Cup series driver Jimmie Johnson Monday: "Please be careful."
Asked if he believed Johnson when he said he would give competitors more room this season, Biffle said, "He better or somebody is going to break his neck. He caused three restrictor-plate wrecks last year.
"You got to be careful. We don't want to hurt anybody. How would you like to be the guy who caused the wreck and hurt somebody?"
Biffle said he was likely just as guilty of having caused a wreck on a restrictor-plate track.
"Gosh, you can't cause one at every race," he said. "I think he caused one at every race last year and that's hard to do.
"After the second one, I'd be saying, ‘Hey I'm not going to be around anybody.' "
