300 Nationwide Series race after the dominant Logano had led 130 laps, consecutively rejecting challengers all afternoon.
Logano led on the restart, but Biffle nudged his way forward from 3rd place, making fine contact with Logano and sending him up the track and back to fourth place as Busch and Brad Keselowski also surged past.
Biffle said Logano made a mistake "and spun his tires and couldn't get going. He tried to come down and block the bottom, but I already had a run and I wasn't going to give that up."
Logano led 47 of the first 50 laps and 68 of the first 71 and was seldom challenged at the front until the closing laps.
Danica Patrick, making her second start in the series, fell to the rear of the field early in the race and was lapped by the leaders on lap 18 and finished 31st.

That was evident as Patrick, the IndyCar Series star who's trying her hand at NASCAR, clearly was perturbed after finishing 31st among 43 cars in the Stater Bros. 300, a race in NASCAR's 2nd-tier Nationwide Series at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.
Patrick got off to a poor start, with her No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet being lapped by the rulers only 18 laps into the race on the two-mile Auto Club Speedway oval.
On Lap 35 she was penalized for speeding as she left pit road, and by Lap 60 she was lapped once again by the rulers. She got a second pit-road speeding ticket on Lap 79, although some experienced Nationwide drivers such as Carl Edwards made a similar mistake.
Patrick was awaited to have a handful at Fontana.
