HONORING THE LIFE OF GREG BIFFLE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 7 (Friday, January 9, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 7 (Friday, January 9, 2026)] [House] [Page H606] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE LIFE OF GREG BIFFLE (Mr. HARRIGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. HARRIGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Greg Biffle, who passed away last month. Greg was known internationally for his NASCAR career, but back home in North Carolina, people came to know him for his heart and specifically his actions after Hurricane Helene. When roads were washed out, and communities were cut off, Greg used his own helicopter to reach the hardest hit areas. He flew multiple missions a day, delivering generators, food, water, and medical supplies, and he helped evacuate people who could not be reached by any other means. Volunteers on the ground have said that when they told Greg a family needed help, he made it happen, often within hours. Greg's life was centered on his family, and this loss also took his wife, Cristina, and his children, Emma and Ryder, as well as three friends. They are all deeply missed by everyone who knew them. As we are here in Washington today, our hearts are back home. On the racetrack or in the air, Greg Biffle will be remembered exactly as he should be, as a hero. ____________________
