NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Greg Biffle recently announced that the 2010 edition of his NASCAR Pet Calendar can now be pre-orderd.

Biffle, along with his wife Nicole, have produced the pet calendar each of the last few years to help raise funds for the Greg Biffle foundation that the two founded in 2005 to create awareness and help improve the well-being of animals.

The 2010 calendar features drivers Biffle, Kurt Busch, Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, and Tony Stewart.

Members of the NASCAR Media included in the newest calendar are Dick Berggren, Bob Dillner, Jeff Hammond, Jamie Little, Mike Masssaro, John Roberts, Shannon Spake, and Matt Yokum.

“We’re definitely excited about the 2010 Calendar and 3M’s partnership with us,” Biffle said. “One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these calendars go right to work for animals in need, so purchasing one is a win-win.”

Biffle’s sponsor, 3M, covered the expense of printing the calendar.

In 2008, thanks in large part to money raced from the sale of Biffle’s annual calendar, the Foundation was able to assist 112 animal shelters and rescue groups with funding for spaying and neutering, adoption, and other operating expenses.

Calendars can be pre-ordered online at http://www.gregbifflefoundation.com. Later in the year, they will be available at several retail outlets nationwide. Staff will also be selling them onsite at the First Annual Greg Biffle Foundation Day at the Roush Fenway Racing shop from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 14.

“A number of the drivers who appear in the calendar will be on-hand to autograph them,” Biffle said of the Foundation Day.

A bundle including the 2009 and 2010 calendar is also available at the Foundation’s website, as well is previous year calendars.
