Biffle Wins at Kansas City on 10/3/2010

October 4, 2010 — American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet member and Red Cross blood donor Greg Biffle and his No. 16 3M Ford Fusion won the Price Chopper 400 in Kansas City on October 3rd.  The win moves Biffle up to eighth in the Chase, 85 points behind new points leader, Jimmie Johnson.  Biffle also came in first at the August 1st Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA.

Biffle, 3M, and Roush Fenway Racing have supported Red Cross Racing for several years, helping get the word out to the millions of passionate NASCAR fans about the importance of donating blood. Red Cross Racing allows you to earn points for giving blood, which can be exchanged for exclusive NASCAR® racing gear and collectables.

“Congratulations to Greg Biffle on his victory,” said Shaun Gilmore, president, Red Cross Blood Services. “His example has taught thousands of people how important it is to give blood. We are grateful to Greg, 3M and Roush Fenway Racing for their continued support of Red Cross Racing.”

In Hendersonville NC, Red Cross volunteer and long-time Greg Biffle fan, Jim Jean, proudly displays his "#16" as he volunteers with the Henderson County Chapter of the American Red Cross.  Jean has headed up the chapter's low-cost medical blood screening program for over ten years.  The program offers low-cost blood screenings, for annual physicals and other individual needs, as a community service.  The chapter also sponsors the blood donation drives that Biffle promotes.

This year, the American Red Cross and Red Cross Racing are giving away a brand new 2011 Ford Fiesta, thanks to a generous donation by the Ford Motor Company. You can also donate your Red Cross Racing Donor Rewards points back to help provide comfort and support to our troops and their families through the Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces programs.
