Greg Biffle won it for Jack Roush.

Biffle raced to victory in an often-delayed Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway yesterday in Long Pond, Pa., to snap a 64-race winless streak and take the checkered flag for his injured team owner.

Biffle hadn’t won since the first two races in the 2008 Chase for the Cup championship. But with Roush in the Mayo Clinic for injuries sustained in a plane crash in Wisconsin, Biffle found Victory Lane.

“We know he’s watching,” Biffle said. “It’s been really tough. We worked so hard.”

It was also the first win of the season for both a Ford and Roush Fenway Racing.

Tony Stewart was second and Roush driver Carl Edwards was third. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin, who won the last two Pocono races, round out the top five.

Edwards spoke with Roush yesterday morning and said his boss sounded in good spirits.

“He was Jack,” Edwards said. “Don’t mess anything up. Don’t wreck. He’s been through a lot this last week. He really needed that victory. That’s pretty cool. I’m sure he’s really hard to handle for all those nurses in the hospital.”

The start of the 500-mile race was delayed by rain, then had two lengthy red flag stops that totaled nearly 50 minutes.

Elliott Sadler and Kurt Busch both walked away from scary wrecks that knocked them out of the race.

WEBBER TOPS IN HUNGARY

In Budapest, Hungary, Mark Webber took advantage of a penalty against Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel to win the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring track.

Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso was second, followed by Vettel. Webber’s fourth win of the season gave him the lead in the drivers’ championship.
