NASCAR legend Greg Biffle and his family have died following a plane crash at the Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina. Airport officials confirmed on Thursday, December 18, that an aircraft registered to Biffle burst into flames upon landing. "I can confirm there were fatalities," Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell said in the first statement to AP. A family friend of Biffle subsequently took to Facebook and confirmed that the NASCAR racer and his family were on board the aircraft. Biffle is married to Cristina Grossu and they share 5-year-old son Ryder Jack.
