Remembering Greg Biffle: A Tribute at the 2026 Daytona 500

As the NASCAR season kicks off with the 2026 Daytona 500, the memory of Greg Biffle looms large in the hearts of many drivers. Despite his retirement, Biffle remained an active figure in the NASCAR community, and his legacy will be a significant storyline throughout the weekend. The race will air on FOX on Sunday, February 15th at 2:30 PM ET, marking the first race since Biffle's passing.

Many drivers racing in the Daytona 500 will pay tribute to Greg Biffle by displaying their vehicle numbers in his font. The four RFK Racing cars, as well as drivers like Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and AJ Allmendinger, will honor Biffle in this way. Several teams have also taken to social media to share their plans to pay tribute to the late NASCAR legend.

In addition to the visual tributes on the cars, the weekend races will feature a "Be Like Biff" sticker on some vehicles. Niece Motorsports will use Biffle's font on four trucks competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race. Among the drivers participating in the race is YouTube personality Cleetus McFarland, who will make his NCTS debut in the No. 4 truck.

Tragically, Greg Biffle's wife Cristina, daughter Emma, and son Ryder were also on the plane that crashed, along with pilot Dennis Dutton, his son Jack, and NASCAR motorhome driver Craig Wadsworth. The crash claimed the lives of all aboard, leaving a void in the NASCAR community.

As the Daytona 500 weekend unfolds, the racing world will come together to honor the memory of Greg Biffle and celebrate his lasting impact on the sport. His presence will be felt on and off the track, as drivers, teams, and fans pay tribute to a true racing legend.
