Greg Biffles Family Releases a Public Statement!

In the quiet, heavy atmosphere that followed the aviation tragedy of December 18, 2025, a collective voice has finally emerged from the center of the storm. The families of the seven individuals who perished in the Cessna C550 crash near Statesville, North Carolina, broke their silence on Friday, releasing a joint statement that serves as both a heartbreaking eulogy and a plea for grace. Shared publicly by veteran motorsports reporter Bob Pockrass, the message offers the first intimate glimpse into the lives of those on board, moving the narrative away from flight coordinates and mechanical data toward the human hearts that were lost in a single, devastating descent.

The statement centers on the legacy of retired NASCAR champion Greg Biffle and his wife, Cristina, but it does so through the lens of their roles as parents—the titles they reportedly cherished above all others. For a man who spent decades defined by speed and competitive ferocity, the family’s words paint a picture of a much softer, more grounded reality. Greg and Cristina were described as a “unified force of devotion,” a couple whose every decision was anchored by the well-being of their children. The loss of two generations in one moment has created a vacuum of grief that the families admitted is currently “beyond the reach of words.”
