VIDEO: Greg Biffle heroically rescues isolated North Carolina man during helicopter relief mission

Greg Biffle, former Xfinity and Truck Series champion, rescued a stranded man during one of his recent helicopter runs in the Hurricane Helene-hit areas. The 54-year-old NASCAR driver has been flying relief and rescue missions in the western region of North Carolina, providing aid to stranded people.

Apart from being a stock car racer, Biffle is also a licensed private pilot. The $30 million-worth (as per Celebrity Net Worth) semi-retired NASCAR driver owns several aircraft such as the Cessna 210 (propellor-type single-engine plane), a Dassault Falcon 10 (dual jet-engined plane), Falcon 50 (triple jet engine place), and a Bell 206 (dual-blade, single/dual-engined helicopter).

With the destruction of power and communication lines by the hurricane, several people have been stranded without power and internet services. Biffle has been one of the leading persons in the rescue and relief attempts in the state, flying his private helicopter to help people.

In one such run, Biffle spotted a man trying to attract attention using a large mirror. After multiple unsuccessful attempts, he was able to land and provide aid to the man.

Here's a look at a video posted by the NASCAR racer on X, captioned:

"The mirror that caught our attention well over a mile away 👀 only way we we were able to find someone stranded in the mountains at bottom of steep canyon. 6 attempts to land due to difficulty but we got there - got him a chainsaw, EpiPens, insulin, chicken food, formula, gas, 2 stroke oil, and sandwiches premade from Harris Teeter before we left"

Apart from food and medical essentials, Biffle has also been delivering Starlink kits (provided by Elon Musk) to ensure people can get connected to the Internet.

After NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers title, Greg Biffle is set to join the Hall of Fame's class of 2025

With 56 national series wins (Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series combined) in a career of over 20 years, Greg Biffle became a part of NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Now, the Vancouver-based driver is set to join the Hall of Fame's class of 2025.

Fondly known as 'The Biff', Biffle debuted in the 1998 Craftsman Truck Series with Roush Fenway Racing (now RFK Racing). He won the Rookie of the Year title for the 1998 season and went on to win the championship title in 2000 (first for the team and Biffle). The driver-team duo went on to win the 2002 Xfinity Series championship, which was again a first for both.

Biffle attempted to recreate the success in the Cup Series. However, the closest he came to winning the title was in the 2005 season. Biffle finished in second place, 35 points behind the then-champion Tony Stewart.

After competing for over a decade, Greg Biffle retired as a full-time driver from all national series in 2016. He is currently nominated for induction in the NASCAR Hall of Fame's class of 2025, along with legends such as Neil Bonnett, Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards, Ray Hendrick, Ralph Moody, and a few others.
