Shane Huffman (born December 30, 1973 in Hickory, North Carolina) is a NASCAR driver. He currently drives the #88 NAVY "Accelerate Your Life" Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for JR Motorsports in the Busch Series, and the #40 Key Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado in the Craftsman Truck Series.
Huffman began his racing career at Hickory Motor Speedway in late model stock car racing. In 1996, he won the Late Limited Model Series championship, as well as the Blue Ridge Regional Championship in 1999, as well as being runner-up for the NASCAR Winston Racing Series Champion.
In 2000, he moved up to the USAR Pro Cup Series. After posting no top-ten finishes in his rookie year on the circuit, he won his first career race at Jennerstown Speedway in 2001. That same season, he made his Busch Series debut at Richmond, driving the #77 Jennie-O Ford Taurus for Moy Racing. He started 40th and finished 24th, three laps down. After a winless 2002, Huffman won five races and was both the champion of USAR's national points standings, as well as the Southern Division. He repeated his Southern Division title in 2005.
During the 2006 ProCup season, Huffman had three wins when he returned to the Busch Series to drive the #83 Make-A-Wish Foundation Chevy for JR at Gateway International Raceway in a car prepared by NEMCO Motorsports. Following the release of regular 88 driver Mark McFarland, Huffman shared the driving duties of the 88 for the rest of the season with Robby Gordon and Martin Truex, Jr., and will run the car full-time in 2007.
