NASCAR icon Greg Biffle, along with his wife Christina, their children Ryder and Emma, tragically lost their lives in a plane crash in Statesville, North Carolina, on December 18th. The crash also claimed the lives of Dennis Dutton, his son Jack, and Craig Wadsworth. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is currently investigating the accident.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident a few weeks later, local media, including WCNC Charlotte, reported that Biffle\u2019s home in Mooresville was broken into on the evening of January 8th, with thieves stealing $30,000 in cash and a backpack.

A memorial to honor the victims of the crash is planned for Friday, January 16th, at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n
