(Feb. 18, 2012) \u2013 For the second straight day a Roush Fenway Ford set the pace at Daytona International Speedway, with Greg Biffle leading both of Saturday\u2019s practice sessions for next week\u2019s Daytona 500. Biffle\u2019s fastest lap of 193.395 mph was the fastest of the day. In addition, Carl Edwards was seventh fastest in the second practice, with Matt Kenseth and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. turning the 13th and 14th fastest times in the session. RFR\u2019s Trevor Bayne was second fastest in the second practice session and fourth in the first session in the Wood Brothers\u2019 No. 21 Ford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel really good,\u201d said Biffle of the day\u2019s performance. \u201cIt\u2019s a testament to how hard these guys have worked\u2026Matt (Puccia) and all these guys on the team who work at the track and the shop. They\u2019ve worked really hard on these cars and the motors have been awesome.\u201d<br \/>\n <!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cDoug (Yates) and the guys have this fuel injection really dialed in and figured out. They\u2019re really paying attention to detail and worked really hard on the dyno and I\u2019m just lucky I get to drive it. Trust me, I\u2019ve been down here a ton of time where you\u2019re 23rd or 18th or whatever, so it\u2019s nice to be near the front or at the front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kenseth paced the field in Budweisder Shootout practice on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Roush Fenway takes to the track tonight for the all-star Budweiser Shootout (8:00 p.m. EST, FOX).
