Others on the plane were identified as Dennis Dutton, his son Jack, and Craig Wadsworth.<\/p>\n<p>Biffle, 55, won more than 50 races across NASCAR&#8217;s three circuits, including 19 at the Cup Series level. He also won the Trucks Series championship in 2000 and the Xfinity Series title in 2002. <\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Beloved member&#8217; of NASCAR community<\/h2>\n<p>NASCAR said it was devastated by the news.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Greg was more than a champion driver; he was a beloved member of the NASCAR community, a fierce competitor, and a friend to so many,&#8221; NASCAR said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nascar.com\/news-media\/2025\/12\/18\/greg-biffle-family-die-in-plane-crash-nascar-legend-was-55\/\" target=\"_blank\">in a statement<\/a>. &#8220;His passion for racing, his integrity, and his commitment to fans and fellow competitors alike made a lasting impact on the sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The plane took off from the airport, bound for Florida, shortly after 10 a.m. local time but then returned and was attempting to land there, according to tracking data posted by FlightAware.com.<\/p>\n<p>Golfers playing next to the airport were shocked as they witnessed the disaster, even dropping to the ground at the Lakewood Golf Club while the plane was overhead. The ninth hole was covered with debris.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were like, \u2018Oh my gosh! That&#8217;s way too low,'&#8221; said Joshua Green of Mooresville, N.C. &#8220;It was scary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration are investigating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.
