Ford only won 2 races all season that year, both late in the year and both with Biffle. With only 4 real full-time teams that year it was no surprise 4.

While the Biff was the reigning Truck series champion at the time this was only his third start of the season as he focused on a successful NASCAR Busch series campaign in 2001; he split the #99 truck in the latter part of the season with young buck rookie named Kyle Busch after Roush dismissed the truck's former full-time driver Nathan Haseleu. 7.

Biffle Picked Up Some Starts For Roush Following The Canning Of Nathan Haseleu, & Biffle Wouldn't Wait Long To Pick Up Another - Ford's Only x2 Wins Of The Season. AFA Title Implications, Ruttman Would Emerge As Leader Of The "Big 3" ATP Of Ruttman, Riggs, & Sprague - But w/ Only x20 Points Seperating The Trio, It Was Still Anybody's Title For The Taking. Case In Point, 8th Place Finisher Ted Musgrave, Who Left This Race 6th In Points & Finished The Year Runner-Up In Jim Smith's Long-Time Pursuit Of A Title.
