Greg Biffle was famous for his decades-long competitive stock car racing and motorsports career. His tragic death in December 2025, alongside his wife and children, made headlines as fans and loved ones mourned the shocking loss of the Biffles.
Representative Richard Hudson confirmed the news of the Biffle family’s deaths after their plane crashed at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina.
“I am devastated by the loss of Greg, Cristina, and their children, and my heart is with all who loved them,” the Congressman tweeted. “They were friends who lived their lives focused on helping others. Greg was a great NASCAR champion who thrilled millions of fans. But he was an extraordinary person as well, and will be remembered for his service to others as much as for his fearlessness on the track. The last time I spoke with Cristina, just a couple of weeks ago, she reached out to ask how she could help with relief efforts in Jamaica. That’s who the Biffles were.”
