Sad day for sure. Forget his NASCAR successes- the man was one hell of a humanitarian. He spent a lot of time in the areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene and personally flew in aid with his helicopter multiple times. It's going to be hard to replace that.
 
Man, I've been in a lot of shock and disbelief the last couple of days. As a Roush fan growing up, Biffle was always one of my favorite drivers alongside Martin, Kenseth, Edwards, and Kurt Busch. But I don't think I truly appreciated him enough until I saw his efforts to rescue and help those affected by Hurricane Helene last year. He was a man who raced hard on track but helped others even more off of it. This is a hard one to endure, but it's important to remember him for all the good things he did not just for NASCAR, but for everyone else as well.

RIP Greg Biffle and family, and everyone else on board that plane.

I was a long-time fan of him, Jeff, Jimmie, Tony, Dale Earnhardt, and Kurt Busch. It's sad losing someone that took their time to help all the people that were stranded during hurricane Helene. It is definitely a very difficult one to endure. But we can remember how good and brave of a man Biffle turned out to be. Will always miss him. As soon as I get my ps5 back I'm doing some tribute liveries for him and his 16 car.

Cleet's face at the end of this video broke me. 🥲

I know, it just breaks my heart that the world lost a true legend and icon of NASCAR and his family too. His children were so cute and adorable. I'm sure they would have had a great life together.
 
Wow, it's been almost 3 weeks since Biffle and his family died. Still in a state of shock how death can occur that quick. I'm scared of planes and heights, I'll never get on another one.

The only thing to really be afraid of in planes is other passengers. No need to avoid flying because a celebrity died.

I’m uneasy flying these days because I’m an old but I know it will be fine.

NASCAR commissioner Steve Phelps resigning after fallout from trial and texts

The longtime NASCAR executive will leave his role at the end of this month in the wake of the antitrust lawsuit that rattled the sport.

Meanwhile, looks like Phelps got what was coming to him. I doubt this is going to result in the housecleaning the organization desperately needs, though.

Thank god almighty. I'd still genuinely rather have the original 36 race season, but the Chase was at least bearable and a million times better than the abomination that was the playoff format.

Seems like it goes half way if you are trying to keep a playoff.

16th place driver starts the final 10 races 100 points behind the leader, so its almost a 2 race deficit going in.
 
Won't say I'm thrilled about the return of the Chase but it is certainly a massive step in the right direction. At least now underdog winners can actually enjoy their wins instead of the talk immediately going to the championship implications.

I feel like it's also time for NASCAR to finally give the trophy a proper name, there are plenty of names in NASCAR's history that would be well deserving of the honor.
 
I watched the introduction on YouTube and although I'm disappointed the stages remain, I think this is a step in the right direction.

Getting rid of the "win and in" is great news and going back to the original 10 race chase is good. Although I think having 16 drivers are a bit much. I would've made it only 12 or 10.

Yeah, but at the same time they probably know it'll keep stats nerds hanging on because "well mathematically they're not out of it yet if (insert highly improbable scenario that probably involves half the field getting eaten by a T-rex or something)!"

It's not blatantly manufactured drama, but it's still a storyline they could hype up if needed. Still, it's a much needed move in the right direction as many have said... not quite enough to completely halt the slide into irrelevancy, but it'll buy some time to implement further changes, at least.
 
I do think i am more excited about the new nascar scoring system...

I am not sure how much more i will watch this year. I do not enjoy all the channel / subscription hopping through out the race weekend let alone the season. that's still my biggest impediment to getting into the nascar season.
