RFK Racing, Kaulig Racing Honoring Greg Biffle

NASCAR Cup Series teams will honor the memory of Greg Biffle throughout the 2026 season, with five Cup Series entries planning to carry his iconic numeric font in the season-opening Daytona 500.

RFK Racing's four cars for the event, as well as the No. 16 for Kaulig Racing driven by A.J. Allmendinger, will sport the font made famous by Biffle's No. 16 RFK Racing Ford during his NASCAR Cup Series career. Biffle, a 19-time winner in NASCAR's premier series, was among seven people killed in a tragic plane accident in Statesville, North Carolina in December 2025.

“Greg Biffle was more than a championship driver, he was family,” said RFK Racing co-owner Brad Keselowski. “He helped shape who we are as an organization, and his legacy is woven into this team’s history. Returning to the iconic numeric font that defined so much of his career, and adding the season long decal to each car, are meaningful ways for us to honor Greg and carry his spirit. We can’t bring him back, but we can honor him on the track the best way we know how, all season long.”

“Greg Biffle made the No. 16 famous and was a true friend to Kaulig Racing and the whole racing community,” said Kaulig Racing Chief Executive Officer Chris Rice. “This is our way of honoring his incredible career and the person he was. When AJ Allmendinger drives this car at Daytona, we hope fans remember Greg, his family, and all the great memories he gave us.”

RFK Racing also announced the team would carry a circular memorial decal above the B-post during the exhibition Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 1. The decal, which reads, “The Biff 16, In Loving Memory of Greg Biffle.” will remain on the cars for the duration of the 2026 season.

A large-scale, painted stencil of RFK Racing’s commemorative memorial decal will be painted on Bowman Gray Stadium’s infield grass for the Cook Out Clash. The display will serve as a unified symbol of remembrance, reflecting Biffle’s lasting impact on the sport.

A memorial has been established at RFK Racing’s Concord, NC museum. The display showcases many of Biffle's trophies and memorabilia, including the 3M Ford Fusion Biffle drove to victory lane at the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway in June 2013. That win marked the 1,000th NASCAR victory for Ford, and stood as Biffle's final win in the NASCAR Cup Series.

“Greg Biffle was one of the most special drivers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with,” said RFK Racing founder Jack Roush. “He gave everything he had to this organization, and together we shared some of the proudest moments in our history. Honoring Greg this season is deeply personal for all of us, and it’s important that we remember the role he played in building this team and the standard he helped set.”

On Tuesday, RFK Racing announced LaJoie will field a fourth entry for the team in the Daytona 500, a No. 99 Ford sponsored by Trimble. He'll join Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece, the team's full-time drivers for the 2026 season.
