On Thursday, Greg Biffle was back at the Walt Disney World Speedway taking in some laps.

As part of the pre-NASCAR Busch Series Awards activities, Biffle, along with seven other drivers that finished in the top 10 in the standings, gave the media a taste of their profession by giving Richard Petty Driving Experience ride-alongs at WDWS.

Biffle was the only driver in attendance that had previous experience at the 1-mile speedway. In the final of two races that were contested at the speedway, Biffle started 20th and finished fifth in his only start at the track in 1998.

With the start coming in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the special Petty Event gave him a chance to climb behind the wheel of a stock car.

I was one of the media members that had the chance to ride with Biffle in a specially wrapped car that honored the final season for the Busch Series sponsorship.

RacingOne Editors Rachael West and Kym Opalenik also went for a ride. Rachael rode alongside Jason Leffler and Kym went with Marcos Ambrose.

For myself it was about the fifth time I have participated in a ride-along. Without going into depth about the experience I can sum it up in one word every time – Awesome! Climbing into the car gives you more respect about what they have to go through each weekend. Not to mention I only participated in three laps and can't image what 400 would feel like. You’re packed in the seat like a sardine and the HANS device makes it that much harder to move your head around. I was having a hard time looking to the right to get my picture taken with Biffle before the experience because of the device.

For Kym, it was her first time participating in the ride along and next week she will be writing a feature about her experience to share with all the RacingOne readers. We also had the chance to sit down with the drivers and play 10 questions so check back to see what interesting things they had to say.
