With 1 to go, No.16, No. 24 Crews in contention for Tissot season championship

With one Sprint Cup race remaining - Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway - the crews for Greg Biffle and Jeff Gordon are the only teams in contention to capture the Tissot Pit Road Precision Award season championship.

Biffle's crew leads the competition with six wins while Gordon's team is second with five wins. If there's a tie, the team which finishes the highest in the Sprint Cup driver point standings will be awarded the Tissot season title. The season-champion crew will receive $ 100,000 plus Tissot watches for the crew and driver.

Tissot has been the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR since 2006. The company is also the official timekeeper for a number of other sports, including the MotoGP World Championship, the Ice Hockey World Championship and the Cycling World Championship.
