‘Sleeves Are For Sissies’ – Greg Biffle’s Bold Look Has NASCAR Fans Buzzing

NASCAR legend Greg Biffle, who made news last year for his heroic rescue efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, sported a bold look at the Darlington Raceway for the Goodyear 400. Biffle was present at the booth as a guest of honor and drove the pace car for the throwback race, but it was his sleeveless look that stole the show, with fans playfully saying, “Sleeves are for sissies.”

Biffle joined Clint Bowyer, Mike Joy, and Kevin Harvick in the booth, but while all of them were in suits, Biffle proudly rocked his sleeveless shirt and shorts. He was joined by Carl Edwards as the guest of honor, along with the Wood Brothers Racing family, who waved the green flag as Biffle drove the pace car.

A page on X shared Biffle in his iconic look during the race, which received more than 50,000 views and 750 likes.

Biffle’s new look was part of a bet with driver and YouTuber Cleetus McFarland which they placed during the race weekend in Daytona earlier in the year. McFarland said he would help Biffle to get over 100,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel if the latter tore his sleeves off for his appearance in Darlington.

Some fan reactions to the Biff look are below:

Here’s one about the Biff aura:

“Biff Aura is a lifestyle” [sic]

I think they look very different:

“Biff looks like Rick Dale from that old Rick’s Restorations show on The History Channel” [sic]

That is a happy fan:

“Glad to see @gbiffle still sleeveless.”

Biff ftw:

“Stick with the Biff!!”

We’re tight-lipped on this one:

“Sleeves are for sissies!!!👍🏁👍”

Was the race that good or bad?

“Best part of the whole race!”

There has got to be one GIF reaction, at least:

He is indeed the helicopter savior:

“Helicopter man” [sic]

There’s a reason Biffle got popular with a helicopter last year. The NASCAR champion used his own helicopter to conduct rescue missions after Hurricane Helene caused flooding, particularly in the mountainous regions of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee at the end of September last year.

Biffle shared more details of how he began his rescue efforts and dropped essential supplies. Newsweek Sports reported:

“It was a weird deal the way it came together. I got a message that somebody needed help, somebody needed to be airlifted out and I just thought, ‘If I don’t go, who’s going to?’ We had no idea at that point what we were going to see. And once I got in the air and got up there and saw this, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’

“No communication, no power, roads are blocked. And this is in a city setting here, but when you get up in the mountains there’s no access anywhere. So it was… just jumped into action and off we went. And then the helicopters that came after that, the people, the messages I got…”

He added:

“I think it’s something that people just weren’t ready for. How’s a hurricane hit the mountains? I think it caught everybody off guard that how do you get in there? There’s a tree down every 30 feet for miles and miles and then when you get there the road’s washed out, the bridge is washed out. The water’s 60 feet deep over the roadway. The water just took everything in its path. All the race teams came and brought supplies and helped out. It was a tremendous thing to see the humanitarian effort of just people in general.”
