Former NASCAR star Greg Biffle may no longer be with us, but his impact both on and off the track will never be forgotten.

Not only have there been glowing tributes regarding Biffle the racing driver since he, his wife Cristina, and two children, Emma and Ryder, lost their lives in a tragic plane crash last month, but those who witnessed his incredible humanitarian efforts in 2024 are also speaking out.

Those efforts related to Hurricane Helene after it hit North Carolina at the end of September that year, with Biffle answering the call for help by making the use of his pilot's license and helicopter to fly supplies to remote areas that could not otherwise be reached due to the devistation the storm had left behind.

Biffle shared his efforts on social media, drawing massive attention to the cause and rallying the NASCAR community into action.

Speaking at the time, Biffle's words summed up just the man he was: “There’s communities over there that we discovered that are just devastated. The reason why I’m still going is people are still in need, and I don’t want to leave a soldier behind. That’s why I’m still at it.”

Greg Biffle's Hurricane Helene efforts hailed

At the time, some called for Biffle to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, whilst NASCAR itself honored Biffle by entering him as an honorary starter at the Charlotte Roval race that fall, and allowing him to wave the green flag.

Now, ahead of memorial plans set to take place later this month, further tributes are being paid to the NASCAR legend.

"The lives that he impacted is a magnitude," Tyler Polling, Vice President Logistics Coordinator for The Rescue Squad, told WYFF4. "You can't put it into numbers, just what he did, how much he did, and just how selfless he was when he was in Western North Carolina.

"I would text Greg sometimes at 10 [or] 11 o'clock at night and be like, 'Hey, I have a family need. This is what they're in need of.' and it wouldn't be 24 hours [until Greg made it happen].

"Like getting the generators there, the food, the water. He was running his helicopter multiple times a day to the hardest hit areas, to people cut off from roads, bridges, everything that was washed away, to where they literally couldn't be reached by anybody else."

'Be like Biff' legacy

Polling concluded: "From people that know him from his racing career to his humanitarian career, the saying 'Be Like Biff' is definitely something I think is going to have a legacy on his impact and his humanitarian efforts.

"I think the best thing I can say about Biffle is that he always answered the call, no matter what it was."

At this time, federal officials continue to investigate the events that led to the fatal crash involving Biffle, his family, and three others - Craig Wadsworth, Dennis Dutton and his son, Jack.

A memorial service honoring Biffle, his family, and the other victims is set to take place on January 16 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte.
