Greg Biffle Says He Should Have Left Roush Racing | The Dale Jr. Download

Greg has morals. Really refreshing and encouraging. Old school loyalty. Amazing.

[@lilolme69]

Nicole might argue with you on that one 🤣🤐

[@davelikesbacon]

The old school loyalty probably cost him multiple wins and a championship. He was loyal to a fault. That's not a virtue.

Definitely did not live up to his potential, you are correct.

[@hawki5120]

@@davelikesbacon You make it sound like he wasted his career. He had several opportunities at a championship and won quite a few races. That's more than allot of drivers had. Back during the bulk of Gregs career Roush was as good a team as there was in NASCAR.

The driver selection worsened as well. Ragan was worse than Martin. Stenhouse was worse than Kenseth. Bayne was worse than Edwards. Newman was cooked. When Kenseth returned, that was purely for sentimentality, he was more cooked than Newman. They’re just now starting to turn things around with Buescher and Kez.

Burton has a career renaissance at Childress. Busch goes onto drive and win with Penske, Stewart, Ganassi, and 23XI. Martin has a title-contending year with Hendrick. Edwards and Kenseth both get more competitive cars with Gibbs. And of course, J-Mac has a career year in 2010. Biffle dug his own grave with the shovel Jack gave him.

[@shannon3n8]

In my home, we love good hard racing - dicey moves, pit strategy, tire strategy, take no prisoners.. and back in the day, we (especially my dad) really liked to watch Greg Biffle. He was a scrapper, seemed to be as tenacious as Ryan Newman when it came to getting around him for position (not like Pull Over & Wave'em By Mark Martin), and just ran his guts out on every lap. He didn't give excuses to TV or radio either. Mad respect. His loyalty to Jack Roush did cost him a Cup championship, but in a way I could understand it - you dance with one who got you to the party. To hear Greg talk so passionately in this interview still, years (almost a decade!) after the fact, shows to me it's something stuck in his crawl. Visions of Coulda Woulda Shoulda? 20/20 Hindsight? With Brad Keselowski and the modern grasp on how technology of this sport evolves AND what to do about it, hopefully RFK will be able to overcome what I still consider a major deficiency in their arsenal ESPECIALLY with the NextGen POS cars. Good interview DMP and DJD! Sure hope y'all're gonna be able to swing a pre- or post- college football season interview with Eli Gold, and my favorite MRN reporter (and HOF exec director) Winston Kelley, and longtime celebrity/fan Riki Rachtman sometime soon!

[@blendezfamily8727]

Yeah, he really was good at running his guts out every single lap… he used to just tap the right-rear of his car against the wall coming out of the corner and that was just how on-edge he would race lap after lap. I remember Benny Parsons would say that that was “just Greg’s racing style”. He was fun to watch.

Super cool to learn some of the details of this sport. I was never a fan of NASCAR until seeing this show. I had no idea what made a team good or bad and what goes on behind the scenes. I also didn’t know how technical it is and interesting . Thanks for the awesome video/show🙂👍

[@Qwazier3]

This interview confirms my thoughts on what was happening at Roush. Was so sad to see Martin getting beat out of the pits and losing 2 to 6 positions every time he'd go in as Gordon's crew was doing 12 second pits. Could NOT understand why Roush chose not to answer such a huge game changing component. I guess he thought Mark could just race his way through all the cars each and every time he lost positions in the pits. You wear your car out eventually AND your drivers. Roush refused to move forward with all the technology like he was afraid of it or he thought he could beat it with experience. His stubbornness was the teams downfall. Biffle took the high road in this interview.

[@tbird1991]

More than likely Roush thought that he could beat the tech with the old way of doing things, and while that worked for a good long while, eventually the tech just got too good and it all started crashing down

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

Kept Fennig and Reiser around way too long.

[@lordfatcock]

Mark has said in interviews and podcasts that Jack is known to be incredibly cheap. Which is why when Mark when to Hendrick he was so blown away at how Rick ran his team in comparison to Jack. For example while Mark was at RR he would have to help setup the car and even add things just because Jack didn't wanna pay for it. But at Hendrick he didn't have to do hardly anything at all because Hendrick could setup up the car perfectly and then finish tweaking it in practice to make it perfect. I also think that's where Mark learned about simulators and everything. So with Brad buying a piece of the team and having ownership as well as being a driver Brad is having to try and bridge the gap in technology and practices that Jack refused to try. Which is why they are just now been able to run decent.

[@Qwazier3]

@@lordfatcock Oh yeah, Roush was very tight with the purse strings. Hendrick was willing to do what it took. Including being the first to bring in the big tech guys. That jacked up the price to play in a big hurry.

[@Mopar21277]

Awesome show, the Biff is awesome, it is fascinating hearing the deep dives into those glory years of the early-mid-2000s. The sport was on fire, Roush was a powerhouse, especially after the Yates engines partnership came in. Still remember Kurt running the Biff over in the All-star race in 04 or 05, when Kurt had the Yates engine and Greg the Roush, the power difference was amazing.

[@NathanielPuente]

I never paid much attention to Greg during his career but he comes off as one of the more intelligent guests to appear on this show. I never disliked him just treated him as an afterthought. He seems like a cool guy. I’ll root for him when watching old races now lol

[@mr.magicstick9121]

Man it hurts to hear Greg Biffle say that he was loyal to the sponsors 3M and others is why he didn't wanna leave. Because if you remember in 2015 when Roush was running bad 3M dropped there full season sponsorship to join Jeff Gordon's retirement tour! An he had to find full funding for 2015. And then to watch Edwards and Kenseth have the best seasons of there careers and almost a championship. His loyalty was is Downfall!!

[@DC322]

When Roush Racing was the top Ford team along with Robert Yates Racing, they were the top 5 championship standings every year. Biffle mentioned how much as a team struggle to catch their competition with advancing techs and engineering. Should he had left? Could be. Kenseth and Edwards left Roush for JGR and Roush won two more cup races in 2017 with Stenhouse. Penske and then SHR became the two top Ford teams, Roush was the third Ford team that continue to find its winning form. Hopefully with Keselowski taking part of the team's ownership, the team will turn it around eventually. Not this year but future down the road. Biff did came back and won Texas truck race with KBM Toyota. Biff still has the fire in him.

[@michaelmarburger1003]

I didn’t think too much of Greg when he started driving but I have since heard from him now and Martin and Kenneth about some of the inner workings at Rousch. It is refreshing to hear all these different perspectives from the teams I watched rise and fall. To be honest, Greg was a much too talented driver to stay at Rousch as long as he did.

[@jamesburkhalter3548]

I remember talking to Mark Martin at Richmond in the first year of the radial tires, he said he and Roush were having trouble adjusting to them. Also talked to Mark at Bristol in the first year of the Nascar issued ignition, and the first year of the Fuel Injection. They were way behind in the tech. involved. Jack was old school carb. and ignition guy, so they stayed behind the curve.

[@787roofdog]

Jack crashed a couple airplanes and suffered some very serious injuries. Greg, Carl, Matt and Mark were all pilots and flew them selves to work regularly. Aviation bound them together, and nearly cost a couple of them everything a few times. I don't know if Jack's accidents affected his ability to lead his organisation but they sure didn't help.

[@aldo-228]

@marshalljimduncan ..yes they are underrated but not to the same degree..why?..because they don't have the same track record as Biffle. He's underrated because not a lot of people outside of long time NASCAR fans could even mention any of his accomplishments or pick him out of a crowd to ask him for an autograph. You and I know him. But I've been a fan since 1973 so I would suspect most other fans really couldn't even name anything that he's ever done and probably have barely heard his name if ever mention. That in it's self is underrated. You mention all of these accomplishments but how many other fans in all honesty could..not many fans could do the same. That's what makes him underrated..

Ran into Greg once super nice and polite gentleman. I hate he stop racing nascar full time.

would love to see Kenseth on the show!

[@charlesxavier3227]

As of fan of NASCAR for over 30 years the way Greg just explained all this I just got an education in being educated

The Biff in the truck series could do some real damage. Come back Greg and finish your storied career in a truck/xfinity car. ❤

Awesome how he said there was a decline, and less than a week later RFK wins.

I'm a Gordon and now Larson fan and that's one thing I think is great about Hendrick. I don't him or the team personally but he seems to hire people and let them do their jobs. That's what you hired them for. I did see some interviews with Mark saying rousch was a cheap team.

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

After hearing all of this… it sounds like if Mark Martin would have driven for a different team for more years… he could have been a multi championship winner.

I have family members that worked for Roush racing for decades. I’ll be polite and say that Jack Roush is not a nice person! After the plane crashes, he was changed for awhile and seemed to appreciated his employees more but slowly slide back to his arrogant, narcissistic, egotistical, self he always was! Napoleon complex to the Max!

Great interview. Would luv to hear Jack Roush on here.
