What a terrible day.

It was confirmed that NASCAR driver Greg Biffle was killed in a plane crash this morning at the Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina.

The news was first confirmed by Biffle’s close friend Garrett Mitchell, better known as racer and YouTube personality Cleetus McFarland, on social media, who also reported that Biffle’s wife Cristina, 5-year old son Ryder and 14-year old daughter Emma were onboard.

Biffle was 55-years old.

Retired NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace also confirmed that longtime NASCAR community member Craig Wadsworth was on the plane and killed in the crash.

A short time ago, officials on the scene confirmed that seven victims were killed in the crash, and that authorities were working to identify everyone in the crash. But just minutes ago, the families of the victims released a joint statement confirming the names of those who were killed.

Along with Biffle and his wife Cristina Grossu, their son Ryder and Biffle’s daughter Emma, who he had with his previous wife Nicole Lunders, the victims include Wadsworth, Dennis Dutton and his son, Jack.


Immediately after the crash, tributes began to pour in from the NASCAR community and beyond, remembering Biffle not only for his success on the track but his personality in the garage and off the track and his heroic contributions to his community:
