Greg Biffle Not Selected for 2027 NASCAR Hall of Fame Class

Driver Greg Biffle was not selected for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2027 in voting held Tuesday at the Hall of Fame museum in Charlotte, finishing fifth in the Modern Era category. The class will instead include drivers Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton, along with Pioneer Era inductee Larry Phillips.

The results, announced by NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell, showed Harvick received 92 of the Modern Era ballot votes, followed by Burton with 32. Neil Bonnett finished third, Randy Dorton fourth, and Biffle fifth. Biffle did, however, win a separate fan vote conducted on NASCAR.com, which counts as one official ballot.

Burton, a former teammate and close friend of Biffle, immediately advocated for Biffle’s future induction. He told reporters that Biffle definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame at some point, citing their shared success as drivers for Roush Racing. Burton also acknowledged the emotional weight of the moment, referencing the plane crash in Statesville last December that killed Biffle and six others. He said for those left behind, seeing Biffle in the Hall would mean a lot.

The voting highlighted the comparable careers of the two drivers. Burton won 21 Cup Series...
