Greg Biffle to attempt 2022 Daytona 500 with NY Racing

 

NY Racing

    It was abruptly announced on Monday morning (02/14/2022) that retired NASCAR Cup Series veteran Greg Biffle will return behind the wheel in the upcoming "Daytona" 500. 

The race team, NY Racing, has made a grand total of 17 NASCAR Cup Series starts since 2012, obviously running a highly inconsistent schedule, with more DNF's than finishes. Heading into the 2022 "Daytona" 500, there is a chance that they could beat the teams record highest finish of 32nd with Greg Biffle driving. NY Racing's highest finish (32nd) which came in the 2015 "Daytona" 500.

NY Racing will field the No. 44 Chevrolet Camaro, which was built in the Richard Childress Racing shop, as originally leaked on social media a few days ago by one of the employees working on the car. Of course, the post would be shared around, until it really wasn't "new" news.
