RFK Racing is spearheading a heartfelt tribute to Greg Biffle at the Daytona 500, where five NASCAR Cup Series cars will showcase Biffle’s iconic number font in honor of the late champion driver. The RFK Racing Greg Biffle tribute, supported by Kaulig Racing and several drivers, aims to celebrate Biffle’s enduring legacy following his tragic passing in a December plane crash.
Honoring Biffle’s Impact Across the 2026 NASCAR Season
In one of the sport’s most unified demonstrations of respect, RFK Racing’s four Daytona 500 entries and A.J. Allmendinger’s No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet will feature the memorable number styling long associated with Greg Biffle. This visual homage serves as a powerful reminder of Biffle’s influence, both on the track and within his teams. Alongside their on-track tribute, RFK Racing has announced that their cars will carry special memorial decals stating
“The Biff 16, In Loving Memory of Greg Biffle”
for the entire 2026 racing calendar.
“Greg Biffle was more than a championship driver, he was family. He helped shape who we are as an organization, and his legacy is woven into this team’s history.”
— Jack Roush, Team Owner
Biffle’s Accomplishments and Enduring Influence
Biffle’s career with RFK Racing stands out in NASCAR history, as the Washington native secured 19 Cup Series victories and consistently vied for championship titles under the leadership of Jack Roush. His achievements became defining moments for both himself and the organization. Past celebrations, such as his victories with the National Guard racing team, highlighted the skill that made Biffle a revered competitor and teammate.
“Greg Biffle was one of the most special drivers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. He gave everything he had to this organization, and together we shared some of the proudest moments in our history.”
— Jack Roush, Team Owner
The tribute to Biffle will be visible ahead of the Daytona 500 itself, as a large-scale stencil of the “Biff 16” memorial decal will decorate the infield grass at Bowman Gray Stadium during the Cook Out Clash exhibition race on February 1. This visual honor sets the stage for a season-long remembrance and signals the start of a year dedicated to Biffle’s memory.
Widespread Support Unites the NASCAR Community
Kaulig Racing’s involvement adds further significance to the celebration of Biffle’s impact on the NASCAR community. Chris Rice, CEO of Kaulig Racing, highlighted the shared respect for Biffle that extends beyond any single team. The No. 16 made famous by Biffle will return to the spotlight as AJ Allmendinger drives it during the Daytona 500, bridging the emotional bond between teams, fans, and the Biffle family.
“Greg Biffle made the No. 16 famous and was a true friend to Kaulig Racing and the whole racing community. When AJ Allmendinger drives this car at Daytona, we hope fans remember Greg, his family, and all the great memories he gave us.”
— Chris Rice, Kaulig Racing CEO
This year’s Daytona 500 also features RFK Racing’s expanded presence as Corey LaJoie joins regular drivers Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher, and Ryan Preece. The expanded lineup further demonstrates the team’s intent to honor Biffle with unity and purpose.
Permanent Memorials and Lasting Memories
An enduring tribute to Biffle can now be found at RFK Racing’s museum in Concord, North Carolina. The display includes Biffle’s trophies and the 3M Ford Fusion he drove to his final Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway in June 2013, a race that also marked Ford’s 1,000th win in NASCAR. This permanent exhibit complements the on-track honors seen during race weekends and reinforces Biffle’s place in Cup Series and organizational history.
As the season begins with these visible and emotional homages, the RFK Racing Greg Biffle tribute shines a light on the bonds that unite the NASCAR community. By coming together in memory of Biffle, teams and fans alike demonstrate the respect and connection that make NASCAR more than just a competition—it is a lasting family built on the achievements and spirit of champions.
