Reacting to the good news, a former teammate at Roush Racing, David Ragan expressed his pleasure in seeing Biffle on the list. He said, “Yeah all of my years, I was a teammate with Greg Biffle over at Roush Racing, and one thing that stands out about Greg other than being a good teammate on the track and off the track, he was soo fast last certain race tracks if you gave him a car that was just in the ballpark at a track like Michigan or a track like Texas or Miami Homestead Speedway, Darlington he could get that extra few tents and he would be light out so a super fast driver and very very well much deserved.”
