A private plane, owned by former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, crashed at Statesville Regional Airport around 10:15 a.m. as it was en route to Bradenton, Florida. YouTuber Cleetus McFarland, real name Garrett Mitchell, confirmed the tragic news that Greg Biffle, along with his wife, daughter, and son, were on board and tragically lost their lives in the crash. Local authorities, including the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Aviation Administration, were on site investigating the incident, as officials provided limited information about the cause of the crash. Weather conditions at the time of the crash, including heavy rain and reduced visibility, are being closely examined as potential contributing factors. The aircraft involved was identified as a Cessna C550, registered to Biffle’s GB Aviation Leasing LLC. Greg Biffle, known for his successful NASCAR career and philanthropic efforts, was also a registered pilot who had assisted in relief efforts during disasters. Additionally, it was reported that Craig Wadsworth was also on board the plane with the Biffle family. The situation is still developing, with updates to follow as more information becomes available.
