Greg Biffle wins Myers Brothers Award for Hurricane Helene relief
The 2024 NASCAR Awards were not just about efforts on the track. Greg Biffle proved that more than any other driver this year. Biffle received the Myers Brothers Award for his Hurricane Helene relief efforts that helped and inspired so many.
The National Motorsports Press Association voted Greg Biffle the 2024 Myers Brothers Award winner. A semi-retired driver, Biffle put his resources to use as he flew his helicopter around to get supplies and relief to those who needed it most.
During his career, he was a hero. He was The Biff. During the aftermath of Helene, he was a hero in a much different sense.
The former Cup Series driver shared his thoughts on the award. While we won’t hear his speech until Sunday when the awards show airs, we have this short social media post.
“Honored to be named the [NMPA] 2024 Myers Brothers Award Recipient at the NASCAR Banquet last night it was such a surprise !! Thank you,” Biffle posted on X/Twitter.
Greg Biffle is one of the most recognizable drivers of the 2000s. What he accomplished in the Truck Series, Xfinity Series, and Cup Series is truly remarkable. There is a reason why he was named as one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers.
No one asked Biffle to fly his helicopter around for days. No one asked him to deliver those supplies to people in need. But he did it anyway. North Carolina is home for NASCAR and The Biff made sure he gave back as best as he could.

Greg Biffle takes home major honor at NASCAR Awards
While Greg Biffle was honored for his heroic efforts after Helene, there were many other trophies and awards handed out. The Rookies of the Year in their respective series were all given their trophies. All of the hard chargers and other assorted awards were given out as well.
For the seventh year in a row, Chase Elliott was named the Cup Series’ Most Popular Driver. Did it really feel like anyone else could unseat him? Whatever kind of voting operation they have in Dawsonville is working because these fans turn out for Elliott year after year.
Meanwhile, Justin Allgaier returned as the Most Popular Driver in the Xfinity Series. That is his fifth time winning the award, the second year in a row. Rajah Caruth, second-year Truck Series driver for Spire Motorsports was voted Most Popular Driver. That is his first time receiving the honor.
A lot of awards and speeches were given on Friday night. Tomorrow is when NASCAR fans can catch it all. 3:00 PM EST on The CW.
