NASCAR Race at Darlington Highlights Greg Biffle’s Legacy
The upcoming NASCAR race at Darlington Raceway is especially meaningful because of Greg Biffle’s history at the track. Darlington was one of his strongest venues during his NASCAR career, including back-to-back victories in 2005 and 2006.
Those wins helped establish Biffle as one of the drivers capable of mastering Darlington’s difficult racing surface. The track has long been considered one of the toughest stops on the NASCAR schedule, making success there particularly memorable.
According to the RFK Racing release, Biffle’s career included multiple NASCAR Cup Series victories along with a runner-up finish in the 2005 championship standings. His accomplishments across NASCAR’s national series placed him among a select group of drivers who found success at multiple levels of the sport.
RFK Racing president Chip Bowers said the upcoming NASCAR race provides the right setting for the tribute.
“The memory of Greg Biffle’s adventurous spirit, his fun-loving personality, and his endearing appreciation for his fans will forever be remembered and embraced by the NASCAR community. The three selected throwback color schemes, showcased by No. 6, No. 17, and No. 60, represent incredible moments in Greg’s storied career and offer fans, friends, and family alike an opportunity to reflect on the man and the competitor we’ll forever remember with fondness and reverence. Darlington Raceway, one of Greg’s favorite tracks, serves as the perfect backdrop for all to relive his indelible impact on sport.”
NASCAR Race Throwback Paint Schemes Honor Greg Biffle
RFK Racing will field three throwback paint schemes during the NASCAR race weekend, each inspired by cars that defined Greg Biffle’s career.
The No. 6 Solomon Plumbing Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by Brad Keselowski, will feature fluorescent accents that recall several of Biffle’s early designs with the team. The look represents the era when Biffle emerged as a major competitor within the organization.
The No. 17 Fifth Third Bank Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by Chris Buescher, will feature a blue design inspired by Biffle’s pole-winning run at Texas Motor Speedway in 2011. That moment helped reinforce Biffle’s standing among the team’s top drivers.
Ryan Preece will drive the No. 60 Kroger, Oscar Mayer, and Heinz Ford Mustang Dark Horse with a design based on Biffle’s 2009 primary scheme. The bright yellow-and-red livery became one of the most recognizable cars associated with Biffle during his time with the organization.
RFK Racing also confirmed the cars will feature Biffle’s iconic No. 16 number style as part of the throwback tribute during the NASCAR race weekend.
The NASCAR race weekend at Darlington will include several fan tributes designed to celebrate Greg Biffle’s career and legacy.
