Biffle grew up in Camas, Washington, along with his brother. Starting his racing career on short tracks around the Pacific Northwest, he first captured national attention when he dominated the 1995-1995 Winter Heat Series race. After impressive results in the 1996 NASCAR Winston Racing Series Championships, Biffle joined the NASCAR team Roush Fenway Racing in 1998, taking the 1998 Rookie of the Year Award in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and capturing another truck series championship in 2000. In 2001 he joined the Busch series, winning Rookie of the Year honors. The following year he won both the Craftsman Truck and Busch Series Championships, the first driver to do so, and the first one to win over $2 million in a single Busch Series season. His net worth was significantly boosted.
Biffle’s Cup Series career started in 2002, capturing his first NASCAR Nextel Cup Series victory, and adding three more Cup wins the following year. His breakout season came in 2005 when he won six races, more than any other driver in the NASCAR Nextel Cup season, finishing second and qualifying for the Chase. After failing to make it to the Chase in 2006 and 2007, he earned a spot in the Chase for three consecutive seasons – 2008, 2009 and 2010, but then missed the Chase in 2011. However, the next season became one of his most successful ones, leading the point standings and earning two Chase victories. His 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory marked the driver’s 1000th win for Ford in NASCAR, making the Chase for the fifth time in six years, and again the following year.
