LAS VEGAS -- Nextel Cup driver Greg Biffle was in a fiery crash Thursday while testing tires at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and was helped from his burning race car by Kyle Busch.


The two drivers were helping Goodyear test tires on the remodeled speedway when Biffle apparently blew a tire, causing him to hit the wall between the first and second turns. The accident broke the fuel pump and caused his Ford to burst into flames.


Busch, who was trailing Biffle at the time of the accident, jumped from his car and helped Biffle to safety.


Although Biffle was uninjured, he did not continue the session.


"That was a really hard hit and we lost a good car, but I'm OK," Biffle said.


A track spokesman said Biffle was released from the care center, and left the race track driving his own car.

Busch gets a lot of bashing here on the boards, but you've gotta admit, that was a hell of a thing to do. Good for him!

Agreed... that was a very selfliss act.
