Hardcore Race Fans are known as a loyal bunch, and when it comes to pets things are no different. The same is true for the NASCAR community.  With this in mind, Greg and Nicole Biffle created the NASCAR Pet Calendar in 2006.  In its fourth year, this fundraising effort continues to gain popularity and help out a good cause.

The Greg Biffle Foundation raises money for no-kill animal shelters throughout the United States. Both Greg and Nicole Biffle are committed to lending their time and support to helping animals find a home rather than to be put down. To celebrate the relationship man has with his pets, the NASCAR Pet Calendar showcases some of NASCAR’s biggest stars alongside their families and their pets.

“The funds raised will be awarded to animal welfare organization's nationally on an annual basis,” Nicole Biffle explained. “The more money we raise, the more organizations we can help.”

Along with the drivers, members of the media will also be showcased in this year’s calendar. Krista Voda, Matt Yocum, Jamie Little, Wally Dallenbach, Shannon Spake, John Roberts and Dr. Dick Berggren will join Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Jeremy Mayfield, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart, Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, Reed Sorenson, as well as the Biffles.

“I buy at least one every year and last year I had to buy several to give away as Christmas presents to friends who had seen the calendars I had bought for myself in previous years,” one Hardcore Race Fan was quoted as saying, “It is a sneak peek into the personal lives of these drivers and it’s a great cause to support.  I have two dogs myself and I think what the Biffles are doing is incredible.”
