NASCAR legend Greg Biffle joined EPARTRADE’s 5th Annual Race Industry Week to share his passion for racing, reflect on his storied career, and discuss his inspiring humanitarian efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The interview provided a glimpse into the heart and determination of a racing champion who is as impactful off the track as he is on it.
Daytona 2025: Biffle Eyes a Comeback
The discussion began with a tantalizing hint of a return to the track. Biffle expressed his desire to race in the 2025 Daytona 500, emphasizing his love for the sport and the unique challenge of competing at the iconic event.
“Who doesn’t want to run the Great American Race? It’s the greatest thing ever,” Biffle remarked. “I’d love to do it one more time—or maybe a few more times.”
Known for his adaptability across NASCAR’s Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Series, Biffle’s potential return is an exciting prospect for fans and competitors alike.
Honored for Heroism: The Myers Brothers Award
Biffle’s recent receipt of the Myers Brothers Award, one of NASCAR’s most prestigious honors, was a central highlight of the discussion. The award recognized his extraordinary efforts during Hurricane Helene, where he used his personal helicopter to deliver life-saving supplies and assist stranded communities in North Carolina’s mountain region.
“It started as a simple call to help one family,” Biffle shared. “But when I flew up there, I saw devastation on a scale I couldn’t imagine—entire communities cut off from civilization. It was like a light switch flipped, and suddenly we had dozens of helicopters and a network of people coming together to save lives.”
Coordinating Disaster Relief: A Race Against Time
Biffle described the challenges of organizing a grassroots rescue operation in an environment of unprecedented devastation.
“We went from one or two helicopters to over 100 in a matter of days,” he said. “It was a monumental task, but it showed the incredible resilience and compassion of the American people.”
Biffle also recounted the logistical challenges, including navigating rugged terrain and coordinating air traffic in a disaster zone. His quick thinking and leadership in a time of crisis underscored the same precision and calm under pressure that defined his racing career.
A Champion On and Off the Track
EPARTRADE’s hosts praised Biffle’s selflessness, ingenuity, and impact, noting his lasting contributions to the sport and his community.
“Greg represents the very best of racing and humanity,” said one host. “His heroic efforts during Hurricane Helene and his continued commitment to racing inspire us all.”
