Just weeks after the tragic death of former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, his home in Mooresville, North Carolina, was reportedly burglarized. According to a police report obtained by WCNC Charlotte, thieves stole approximately $30,000 in cash from the estate, along with a backpack and other valuables, including guns and memorabilia. The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the burglary was reported on January 8, 2026, and that the investigation is ongoing.
Sheriff Darren Campbell stated, “We’re working the case. We are waiting on some digital evidence.” As of January 14, no arrests had been made, heightening concerns among the community about the safety of the area surrounding Biffle’s estate.
Investigation into Biffle’s Fatal Plane Crash Continues
Greg Biffle died on December 18, 2025, along with six others, when his private plane crashed while attempting to return to Statesville Regional Airport. Among the deceased were his wife, Cristina, their daughter, Emma, and son, Ryder, as well as motorhome driver Craig Wadsworth, pilot Dennis Dutton, and his son Jack Dutton. The crash occurred just ten minutes after takeoff, and the cause is still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
NTSB board member Michael Graham emphasized the ongoing nature of the investigation in a press conference on December 20, stating, “We do not know the circumstances that led the aircraft to return to the airport but that is the focus of our investigation.” He acknowledged the cooperation of the victims’ families, who have been assisting the NTSB during this difficult time.
Community Mourns the Loss of a Racing Legend
The crash was met with shock and grief, reflecting the deep impact Biffle had on the NASCAR community and beyond. The families of the victims released a statement expressing their devastation, stating, “This tragedy has left all of our families heartbroken beyond words.” They highlighted Biffle and Cristina as devoted parents and active philanthropists, emphasizing their commitment to family and community.
Witnesses described the scene of the crash as harrowing, with 9-1-1 calls revealing reports of “a huge fire” and a “small, mid-sized jet” going down. One caller recounted, “We just have a plane fly over our heads and crash into the tree line,” illustrating the chaotic moments that followed the accident.
A memorial service to honor Biffle and the others lost in the crash is scheduled for January 16, 2026, in Charlotte, where friends, family, and fans will gather to pay their respects to a beloved figure in motorsports.
