NASCAR Hall of Fame Statement on the Passing of Greg Biffle and Family
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The following is a statement from NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director Winston Kelley on the passing of NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee, Greg Biffle and his family.
“First and foremost, on behalf of the NASCAR Hall of Fame team, I want to offer our most sincere condolences to the Biffle, Grossu and Dutton families on the tragic passing of Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, son Ryder and daughter Emma as well as NASCAR veteran Craig Wadsworth, Dennis Dutton and son Jack.
Greg’s accomplishments are extensive, as represented by his nomination to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but eclipsed by the quality person he was.
Greg was recognized with the National Motorsports Press Association (NMPA) Myers Brothers Award in 2024 and North Carolina Motorsports Association’s (NCMA) Philanthropy Award in 2025 for his extraordinary work delivering supplies to the thousands of people impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
In NASCAR, Greg was the 2002 NASCAR Busch (now O’Reilly Auto Parts) series champion and 2000 NASCAR Craftsman Truck series champion, the first driver to win the championship in both of those series. He won 56 races in NASCAR’s national series, 19 in the NASCAR Cup Series, 20 in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and 17 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In 2023 during NASCAR’s diamond anniversary, he was named one of NASCAR’s 75 greatest drivers.
Both his record across NASCAR’s national series and his reputation as one of NASCAR’s most versatile drivers validates his nomination for the NASCAR Hall of Fame and selection as one of NASCAR’s 75 greatest drivers.
Greg and his wife Cristina were also ardent supporters of the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation participating in numerous fundraisers to assist children most in need through the Hall’s educational programming.
NASCAR is and has always been a family sport and we are devasted by this loss. Their legacy and the incredible influence they left will be forever remembered and engrained in our hearts and minds.”
