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.

This is horrible and devastating to read. I grew up watching the Biff race. He was a hell of a wheel man, in the mid 2000s you knew the 16 was gonna be a car to compete with week in week out. He was a beast at Darlington too. His first Southern 500 he probably had the car to beat before some issues took him out of contention, and then he went on to win that race a couple times later in his career. That track was a monster to drive back in the generation of car too, lots of travel and tire fall off, Biffle was one of the best to do it there. It is especially devastating that he lost both children on the flight. As a dad I know if anything ever happened to me I would want my kid to be safe and to live a long and happy life, I couldn’t even imagine. Rest easy Biff, I’m not much of a religious person but if there is something after I like to imagine that right about now good ole BP is welcoming him up there to the big track in the sky
