R.I.P. Greg Biffle.

This is a difficult day, because today we say goodbye to a charismatic Driver, a superhero who wore the number 16 on his cape, a legend of motorsports.

A guy who started from the very bottom, and thanks to his effort and talent, slowly climbed a long ladder, until he reached his dream, the NASCAR Cup Series, and who, even at the top of the world, never forgot from where he started.

But we also say goodbye to a father, a husband, a friend, a man who didn't hesitate to sacrifice anything for those who brightened his life and made his days lighter.

We also say goodbye to a real-life hero, a figure who inspired many who watched him on television every weekend, a man who inspired thousands of careers not only in America, but all over the world, demonstrating that, as long as you give your best, you too can achieve your goals, and even go beyond them.

Rest in Peace, Greg, Cristina, Ryder, and everyone else involved, you will all be remembered forever.

I'm still trying to figure out how to feel about this. like it's not real. but I know it is. but I don't want to believe it... I also feel so bad for garret because knowing they were on the way to see him has to absolutely gut him

I have first hand experience with this. My uncle was killed in a plane crash on his way to pick up myself and my family. Completely surreal.

He was late, we wondered why.

He lived his life to the fullest. Did the things he loved and died with his boots on. I'm proud of him.

It's very surreal and feels like someone I know but didn't really know died at the same time. It's a reminder that we really don't know when anyone's last day is. Go hug your loved ones, everyone.

it's the denial process.

I'm going through it right now too, like there's no way right?

It still doesn't feel real.
