CONCORD, N.C. -- Greg Biffle and Roush Fenway Racing have parted ways after 19 seasons, the last 14 in the Sprint Cup Series.Biffle, who had driven the No. 16 Ford since 2002, called it a mutual agreement we started working on many months ago.Weve had an incredible run and I am so appreciative for the opportunity to be a part of Roush Fenway, Biffle said Monday. For a kid that grew up Washington, Im extremely proud of everything we have been able to accomplish over the last 19 years -- both on and off the track. Ive enjoyed every minute. Im excited about the next chapter of my life, and I look forward to exploring other opportunities -- particularly in radio and television -- both inside and outside of NASCAR.Biffle won 19 races in NASCARs top series and twice contended for the Cup championship late in the season. He also won championships in the Xfinity Series and the Camping World Truck Series. But hes had little success of late, last winning in 2013 and finishing 20th (2015) and 23rd (2016) the last two seasons.Biffle made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship eight times and is one of only 17 drivers to make 500 consecutive Cup starts.I dont have the words to say what Greg has meant to this organization, team owner Jack Roush said. He is a true racer who has always exhibited a will to win and an intense passion for speed. For almost two decades Greg has given us an opportunity to run up front and compete for wins.Greg exemplifies what every owner hopes for in a driver and Im extremely thankful for having him as part of our organization. I know that Greg and I will maintain a strong friendship and I look forward to leaning on him on occasion as we continue to work on improving our performance.RFR did not say whether it plans to field the No. 16 car next season.---More AP auto racing: www.racing.ap.org Authentic Tremon Smith Jersey .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Mariana Pajon of Colombia raised her BMX bike triumphantly in the air, another Olympic gold medal securely in hand.Minutes later, American rider Connor Fields fell to his knees after crossing the finish line first in the mens final.The United States isnt used to winning gold in this event, even if BMX traces its roots to Southern California.BMX racing at the Rio de Janeiro Games came to a close Friday with Pajon successfully defending her gold and the United States claiming its first Olympic title in the unpredictable action sport.There was kind of a point where I exited the last corner and realized I was winning, said a smiling Fields, his new medal draped around his neck. I was like, `Get to the line! Get to the line! I crossed that finish line and dropped to my knees. I couldnt believe it.American riders had already claimed a podium finish when Alise Post took silver behind Pajon. The United States had been shut out from the medal stand in 2012 in London.Stefany Hernandez of Venezuela won the bronze on Friday.Pajon had an impressive run in Rio, winning all three of her semifinal heats. She finished the nearly quarter-mile course filled with bumps and turns in 34.093 seconds, beating Post by .342 seconds.My first gold was huge. But two is amazing, said Pajon, struggling to find words after the race.A legion of vocal fans wearing Team Colombia shirts or waving Colombias yellow, blue and red flags filled in any blanks.Mariana! Mariana! cried out fans elbowing each other for Pajon autographs near the finish line.Shes a star in Colombia, so much so that a BMX track has been named in her honor. She won a world title on that course in May.Pajon will take home a bigger prize when she returns to Medellin.I felt like I was home. I felt like I was in Colombia, Pajon said.Fields was looking forward to returning to his mothers house in Las Vegas to make room in the garage for another prize. On the walll is a goal he wrote out as a teenager, written with a Sharpie.ddddddddddddIt reads: One day, Ill become an Olympic champion.If only my 14-year-old self could see this now, Fields recounted.Fields completed the course in 34.642 seconds, holding off Dutch rider Jelle van Gorkom by .674 seconds.It had been a trying few months for Fields, who broke a bone in his left hand in the spring. He only returned to the bike in June, and needed a special brace to compete in Rio.In the final, Fields said he got off to the best start of his career, going 1-2 with Long out of the important first turn before breaking ahead.I would be lying if I said there werent any dark times, Fields said about coming back from injury. They say adversity makes you stronger if you let it.There was a photo finish for third, with Carlos Ramirez Yepes of Colombia just edging out the United States Nic Long for the bronze. Officials went to a video replay to determine that medal.Still, it was a banner day for the United States.Connor is the first (American) gold medalist in BMX. And Im very, very proud, this is the top womens result, said Post, holding up her silver medal. I think we can only go forward from here and be proud of our team.BMX power Australia had a disappointing showing. Medal favorite Caroline Buchanan didnt make the final after slipping in the first turn of her third womens semifinal heat. Teammate Sam Willoughby, the 2012 silver medalist, finished sixth in the mens final.Willoughby and Post are engaged, with a wedding date set for April.My heart is with Sam ... But its BMX. Its one of those sports where anything can happen, Post said.
