The USA took a huge hit when the category 4 hurricane hit several states at the end of September. Many families were stranded because the roads were blocked off and supplies started to run thin. Rick Hendrick, Joe Gibbs, and Greg Biffle took it upon themselves to start a rescue mission for the victims, and out came the helicopters.
Along with other parties that dedicated their time to helping people in need, Greg Biffle pulled out his personal Bell 206 helicopter and started to patrol the area to look for survivors. Biffle took it upon himself to donate supplies to affected families and even help evacuate patients from affected areas, and this started to get noticed online.
Greg Biffle wins the hearts of fans by saving lives
Everything started on September 24th and just two races later, the winds were strong enough to cause a landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region. When the hurricane hit Charlotte, a city where the NASCAR Hall of Fame exists, the members of the stock racing community knew that they had to do something about it.
Now, it has been days that figures from NASCAR have been in the air trying to rescue victims, and Greg Biffle has made it into the limelight. A recent post on X shows Biffle in his chopper spotting a stranded victim who was looking for help. The person was standing in an open field with a huge mirror in their hands, trying to reflect the sun towards Biffle’s helicopter.
Luckily, Biffle noticed it and started to draw closer to the stranded person to help them out of the situation they were facing. Although Greg Biffle completely walked away from NASCAR in 2022, he couldn’t help but join others in rescuing the suffering citizens, and this was a sight for the fans.
