A plane owned by Greg Biffle crashes on Thursday.
Prayers are being sent to Greg Biffle and his family.
A plane crashed early Thursday at Statesville Regional Airport. Details of what caused the crash and the condition of the passengers weren’t released at the time. Tail number data shows that the plane was owned by Greg Biffle, a former NASCAR driver.
He won 19 Cup Series races in his 20-year career.
Soon, the devastating news would come out. Biffle, his wife, and their children were reportedly aboard that doomed aircraft. A video taken at the site shows the burning wreckage of a plane with a matching tail number to Biffle’s private jet.
While many sources state that Biffle and his family were on the plane, these details have yet to be confirmed.
In a statement shared on Thursday, the Statesville Regional Airport confirmed an “aircraft incident.” The airport stated that the Federal Aviation Administration is en route to investigate the incident.
The longer we go without hearing from Greg Biffle, the more likely it is that he was on that plane.

Greg Biffle earned as much of a reputation as a pilot as a driver. His aircraft has helped respond to multiple natural disasters. Biffle was there to respond when North Carolinians needed help after Hurricane Helene.
Losing Biffle would be a tragedy in more ways than one.
