Now that we’ve said that, there are likely fans out there wondering what in the world is the Triple B 100. So let’s tackle that right now.

The Triple B 100 is the brainchild of NASCAR Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series champion, Greg Biffle. The event is a 100-lap race broken down into five segments on a makeshift dirt race track at Biffle’s “Triple B Ranch” in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Oh, and there’s one thing we almost forgot to mention: Everyone will be racing in Ford Crown Victorias. 

“This is what started out to be a race in a field 15 years ago,” Biffle explained to FloRacing. “It’s kind of still just a race in a field. But I’ve got a motor grader and a little water truck. It started out as just redneck run racing.” 

Biffle, the winner of 19 races in the NASCAR Cup Series, explained that this year’s race even had a qualifying race on Thursday night at nearby Harris Speedway because the demand to run this year has been larger than expected.

“We’ve had such a demand of people wanting to run. Just people out of the woodwork,” Biffle said. “Usually it’s just a local thing and I get some drivers buddies like Kyle Busch, Ricky Stenhouse, and Kurt that have come and race in the past. But it’s basically mostly novices. But a bunch of people want to come and I don’t really have a good way of vetting everyone.”

The “vetting” process led to the creation of Thursday night's qualifying races at Harris Speedway.

“So we had this idea, and right when I was thinking of it the guy from Harris Speedway asked if we wanted to hold the race at his track. But we really love the idea of being out in the woods and the race being in a field. Because it’s kind of fun, and that’s what makes it what it is. So we thought why don’t we have a qualifying race for all these people that want to race the Triple B 100.”

Biffle said that five cars will have come out of the qualifying race night. There will be two 15-lap heats and the winners of each heat will race in Saturday’s main event. There will also be a fan vote winner, a promoter’s choice recipient, and another driver chosen via random draw.

Come Saturday, the race will be run in five 20-lap segments with a full-field invert at the end of each segment. Biffle also explained another interesting wrinkle that might still be in-play on Saturday.

“You’ve got to have a passenger and the passenger has to drive at least one segment of the race. But some people are complaining a little bit about having the passenger. And I get it. We’re starting to get some safety concerns about it, although off-racing and all that has passengers.”

Biffle also added that two names fans can expect to see race on Saturday are YouTube sensations Cleetus McFarland, and JH Diesel, both of whom are flying up from Florida to race in the event.

Fans might remember that since Hurricane Helene decimated the mountain regions of Western North Carolina with flooding and landslides, Biffle and McFarland were two of the earliest volunteers to help airlift in supplies and food, and even make rescue missions for those who were stranded in the aftermath of the storm. Both men flew their personal helicopters in and out of the region for days on end, helping those in need.

Biffle, who received the prestigious Myers Brothers Award at this year’s NASCAR Awards Banquet for his humanitarian efforts, said that this year’s Triple B 100 is being run to continue helping those in need. While this “race in a field” doesn’t historically attract a ton of fans, as it’s never really been meant to, this year’s race will have a charitable component thanks to those who do attend. A majority of the proceeds from the event will be used to aid in the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene.

“We’re still trying to figure that out exactly, but we’re basically going to give our efforts to Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, housing, supplies, and whatnot,” Biffle explained. “Almost all, if not all, of the money is going to go to charity.”

Saturday’s events will be streamed live for free on FloRacing’s social media channels starting at Noon ET. For the first time in this race’s history, fans from all over the world can choose to see the Triple B 100, and that’s something that Biffle never thought would happen. In fact, he laughed when asked about it.

“I mean, I never would have thought it,” joked Biffle. “It’s pretty exciting to see. One time I had FOX come in about 2006 or 2007 and they brought a couple of cameras and they made a DVD for me. But it wasn’t distributed. We didn’t put it on YouTube or anything. So this is the first time people are actually going to see it in a way that isn’t cell phones or other things. 

"Over the years it’s just evolved. It started out as a redneck field race that has gained a lot of momentum.”
