Greg Biffle is among the five new nominees on the Modern Era ballot for the NASCAR Hall of Fame, with the inventor of the SAFER barrier added to the Landmark Award ballot as well. The voting panel will convene on May 21 to decide the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Biffle, a driver who claimed championships in the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series, stands out for his achievements in all three NASCAR divisions. Notably, engineer builder Randy Dorton, three-time Craftsman Truck Series champion Jack Sprague, modified star Ray Hendrick, and three-time Convertible Division champion Bob Welborn have also been added to the Modern Era ballot for the first time. The Pioneer ballot includes notable figures like Larry Phillips, competing to become one of the selected individuals for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Furthermore, the Landmark Award acknowledges individuals such as Dr. Dean Sickling, the innovative mind behind the SAFER barrier, for their significant contributions to NASCAR’s legacy.
