built 177 days ago
Greg Biffle gained national attention when he raced in the NASCAR Winter Heat series on ESPN2 in the winter of 1995/1996. ESPN announcer and former NASCAR champion Benny Parsons told Jack Roush that if he passed up the chance to hire Biffle, he would regret it. Roush didn't pass, and he has to be glad he listened to Benny.

UPDATE 3 - Roush still waiting on National Guard: Roush Racing is still awaiting word on whether the National Guard will return as primary sponsor on the #16 Ford driven by Greg Biffle next year. "We don't have an indication on what they are going to do for next year," Roush Racing President Geoff Smith said Saturday. "That is being more closely maintained by them. Sometimes it's typically later in the year when they have all of their options decided." Even if the team loses that sponsorship, there are other sponsors to fill in the gaps. That car has had several sponsors, such as Subway, which have been the primary sponsor for select races in the past couple of years.
