Biography

Greg Biffle (born December 23, 1969 in Vancouver, Washington) is a NASCAR Nextel Cup driver. He now resides in North Carolina.

He was initially recommended to Jack Roush by former racer and present broadcaster Benny Parsons. Parsons had met him by chance and was impressed by the scrappy independent driver who had an engineering degree.

Biffle started competing full time in NASCAR's top circuit in 2003, and he finished in 20th place in the final NEXTEL Cup series points. He earned his first win at the Daytona International Speedway. He finished second to Jamie McMurray for Raybestos Rookie of the Year. His car was sponsored by Grainger, who had previously sponsored him in his Busch and truck series efforts.

Greg Biffle showed steady improvement over the 2004 season as he earned two more race wins en route to a 17th place finish in the points.

2005 was Biffle's breakout season. He finished the season tied with teammate Carl Edwards for second in the NASCAR Nextel Cup championship, thirty-five points behind champion Tony Stewart. Biffle won the tie-breaker for second because of his six race victories, the most of any driver in the Nextel Cup Series that season.

In 2006, Biffle won twice, at Darlington Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Biffle struggled considerably during the year, finishing 24th at Pocono Raceway, 33rd at the Brickyard and 38th at Watkins Glen International.

The Army National Guard served as the primary sponsor from 2004-2006. Other sponsors included Post-it/3M, Jackson Hewitt Tax Services, Subway, Charter Communications and Prism Guard Shield.

For 2007, Biffle will drive the #16 Ameriquest/ 3M Ford Fusion for Roush Fenway Racing. Biffle is currently signed with Roush Fenway Racing until 2008.
