There’s been a Greg Biffle sighting and he’s rumored to compete in 2022
At the end of the 2016 season, Greg Biffle was unable to locate a contract in the NASCAR Cup Series. He spent the next few years, completely absent from the sport.
In 2019, Kyle Busch pulled Biffle out of free agency, briefly. Biffle was signed to drive a single NASCAR Truck Series race for Kyle Busch Motorsports.
After a near three year departure from racing, Biffle drove his truck to victory lane. That was his first truck race since 2004.
Biffle returned to run another race in 2020. However, he finished 19th. In 2021, he ran the SRX Series in their debut season.
