Tragic Plane Crash Claims Lives of Former NASCAR Driver Greg Biffle and Six Others Statesville, North Carolina — A Cessna 550 Citation II business jet crashed shortly after takeoff from Statesville Regional Airport on Thursday, December 18, 2025, killing all seven people on board, including retired NASCAR champion Greg Biffle and members of his family. The aircraft, registered N257BW and owned by GB Aviation Leasing LLC (linked to Biffle), departed the airport around 10:06 a.m. en route to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport in Florida. It quickly returned for an emergency landing due to an unspecified issue. The airplane collided with terrain short of the runway, crossed a road and the airport perimeter fence before finally coming to rest on the runway. A post crash fire ensued. The crash occurred around 10:15 a.m. local time. The victims were identified as Greg Biffle, 55; his wife, Cristina Biffle; their young son, Ryder; Biffle’s 14-year-old daughter, Emma (from a previous marriage); and three others: Dennis Dutton, Jack Dutton, and Craig Wadsworth. Biffle, a NASCAR legend named one of the sport’s 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023, won 19 Cup Series races, the 2000 Truck Series championship, and the 2002 Xfinity Series title. In recent years, he was celebrated for his humanitarian efforts, including piloting relief flights after Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina. Preliminary reports indicate fluctuating airspeed and poor weather conditions, including drizzle and reduced visibility, though the exact cause remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The airport, a regional facility serving corporate and NASCAR-related traffic about 45 miles north of Charlotte, remains closed. The 1981-manufactured Cessna Citation II was destroyed in the post-impact fire. #GregBiffle #AviationNews #NASCAR #AviationSafety
