Greg Biffle, 19-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner, had stepped away from full-time racing in 2016 after a successful run that spanned over a decade and a half. However, he did make some occasional returns to various NASCAR series in the following years, including racing in five Cup races with NY Racing in 2022. The veteran driver had officially announced that he would not be participating in the Daytona 500 2024, despite the team’s initial plans to do so.
While the exact details of what the contractual issues were remained unclear, it seemed that Biffle and NY Racing were unable to fix a few problems from the previous year, which ultimately led to his decision to step away from racing until the situation was officially resolved. To say that fans were gutted would be an understatement as he departed abruptly.
However, in a shocking plot twist and impeccable timing from ARCA, the NASCAR veteran is set to make a surprise return to racing, joining Sigma Performance Services to compete in the ARCA Menards Series West NAPA Auto Care 150 at Washington’s Tri-City Raceway! They have not shared any other details as of yet, but fans are already over the moon with just this one tweet about the veteran driver.

Over the recent news of Greg Biffle’s return to racing, the fan’s reactions are a mix of nostalgia and humor. One fan jokingly pointed out that with Biffle back and Juan Pablo Montoya (JPM) making his own comeback, Carl Edwards and his backflips might be the next potential return. “JPM is back, BIFFLE is back…Stares at Carl Edwards.” Alongside this, fans feel like NASCAR is going back to what it was back in the day with legendary drivers returning to the tracks, “damn is this 2007 all over again.”
Another fan shared a funny moment when they initially read the name of Biffle’s new team as ‘Ligma Performance.’ They thought to themselves, “C’mon Biff, this is past the memes now,” poking fun at how internet jokes can sometimes stick around longer than they should.
One fan expressed their excitement upon seeing the news but then felt let down when they realized he would be racing in the ARCA West series. They lamented, “I can’t watch it if it’s ARCA West,” highlighting their confusion about the different ARCA series, perhaps they miss the simplicity of just watching the main events and are feeling a bit sad about it.

Some fans even chimed in with a humorous question, wondering if there are now multiple of the driver or if this was just a random appearance. “Are there 2 Greg Biffles now? Or is this just a random Biffle appearance” Maybe the news just sounded too good to be true for this fan, but somebody better pinch them to reality because this is true and happening!
It’s a mix of joy, nostalgia, and a bit of confusion, but one thing is for sure: fans are ready to rally behind their favorite driver once again! Are you going to be tuning in to watch Greg Biffle as he shows his magic on the tracks like he always has?
