Gregory Jack Biffle (December 23, 1969 – December 18, 2025), nicknamed "the Biff", was an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the Nos. 23/24 Chevrolet SS for Sigma Performance Services. He died in a plane crash in December 2025.
After racing in the NASCAR Winter Heat Series in the mid-1990s, he was recommended to Jack Roush by former racer and announcer Benny Parsons. With Roush Racing, he was the 1998 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year. He won the 2000 Craftsman Truck championship. He reprised this progression in the NASCAR Busch Series, winning the 2001 Rookie of the Year, immediately followed by winning the 2002 championship. Biffle drove in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for Roush from 2003 until 2016, winning 19 races in the No. 16 Ford.
Biffle, who began his NASCAR career in 1995, was the first of only three drivers that have won a championship in both the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series, and the sixth of only thirty-six drivers to win a race in each of NASCAR's three national series.
After retirement, Biffle returned to NASCAR with a Truck Series start for Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2019, and for GMS Racing in 2020. Biffle was killed in an airplane crash in Statesville, North Carolina in December 2025, along with all other passengers and crew of the plane, which included his family.
