Greg Biffle
Gregory Jack Biffle (December 23, 1969 – December 18, 2025), nicknamed "the Biff", was an American professional stock car racing driver. He most notably raced from 2002 to 2022 in the NASCAR Cup Series, most notably driving the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing from 2002 to 2016 and last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 23 and No. 24 Chevrolet SS for Sigma Performance Services in 2025.
After racing in the NASCAR Winter Heat Series in the mid-1990s, he was recommended to Jack Roush by former racer and announcer Benny Parsons. With Roush Racing, he was the 1998 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year. He won the 2000 Craftsman Truck championship. He reprised this progression in the NASCAR Busch Series, winning the 2001 Rookie of the Year, immediately followed by winning the 2002 championship. Biffle drove in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for Roush from 2003 until 2016, winning 19 races in the No. 16 Ford.
Biffle, who began his NASCAR career in 1995, was the first of only three drivers that have won a championship in both the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series, and the sixth of only thirty-six drivers to win a race in each of NASCAR's three national series.
After retirement, Biffle returned to NASCAR with a Truck Series start for Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2019, and for GMS Racing in 2020. Biffle was killed in an airplane crash in Statesville, North Carolina, in December 2025, along with all other passengers and crew of the plane, which included his family, which consisted of himself, his wife, Christina, and their two children, Emma, age 14, and Ryder, age 5.
Biffle was born on December 23, 1969 in Vancouver, Washington, and grew up in Camas. He began his racing career driving on short tracks around the Pacific Northwest. He first gained attention as a driver when he raced in the nationally televised Winter Heat Series in the winter of 1995–1996. Biffle dominated the series championship that winter, leading former ESPN announcer and NASCAR champion, Benny Parsons, to recommend the driver to Jack Roush.
Biffle entered the first two races of the 1996 Winston West Series, finishing thirtieth at Tucson and fourth at Altamont. His debut in one of NASCAR's national divisions came later that year when he ran the final two Busch Series races of the season. Driving a Chevrolet for Dick Bown, he finished 23rd at Rockingham but lost an engine the following race at Homestead and finished 36th. In 1997, Biffle competed in the now-defunct NASCAR Northwest Series and won the Most Popular Driver Award.
Roush Racing promoted Biffle to a full-time driver in the Craftsman Truck Series in 1998. Despite not winning a race that season, his four pole positions are the most by a Truck Series rookie to date, and they helped him earn an 8th-place finish in the final standings and the Rookie of the Year Award. He followed it up with a stellar 1999 season in which he recorded nine wins, the single-season Truck Series record that stood (until Corey Heim broke his record with 12 wins in 2025). He finished second in the final standings, just eight points behind champion Jack Sprague. In 2000, Biffle won the Truck Series title with another five-win season, beating his Roush teammate Kurt Busch by 230 points. It was Biffle's first championship in one of NASCAR's three major series. It was announced that Biffle would move up to the Busch Series for 2001; however, he ran four more Truck races for Roush that season and won at Phoenix. Biffle made a Truck Series start in 2004 for another long-time Ford team, Circle Bar Racing, at Homestead.
On March 28, 2019, Biffle announced he would be testing with Kyle Busch Motorsports the next day at Texas Motor Speedway in the No. 51 truck. He was eventually tabbed to drive the truck for the SpeedyCash.com 400 at Texas. Biffle started sixth and won in his series return, leading 18 laps and holding off Matt Crafton while winning $50,000 in a promotion with Gander Outdoors; it was his first Truck victory since 2001.
