The estate of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle faces $30 million in wrongful-death lawsuits filed by the Dutton estates (two suits of $15 million each) over a December fatal plane crash at Statesville Regional Airport.

Alleged posthumous fraud: Biffle's friends accused of draining his accounts after his death

Investigators say that after Greg Biffle and his wife died in a December plane crash, friends of the NASCAR star accessed his and Christina Biffle’s financial accounts, changing contact details to siphon funds to other accounts and making purchases. A Jan. 7–8 break-in at the Biffle home yielded security footage showing a woman inside the residence for hours before leaving with bags. Two estates filed wrongful-death claims against Biffle’s estate alleging he was at fault for the doomed flight, though no arrests have been reported as the investigation continues.

NTSB: Preliminary findings released on Biffle plane crash with undetermined cause

The NTSB released a preliminary report on the December plane crash that killed seven people, including former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle. No probable cause has been determined, with a full determination expected in 12–18 months. The Cessna 550 crashed about nine minutes after takeoff near Statesville Regional Airport as the crew attempted to return to the field. Investigators noted a left‑engine power imbalance, possible issues with the altitude indicator and left‑side instruments, and that the co‑pilot had limited qualifications; Biffle assisted from the rear. The cockpit voice recording was largely unintelligible. Tributes and a family foundation are planned.

NTSB prelim focuses on electrical/instrument issues in Biffle crash

The NTSB released a preliminary report on the Statesville, NC plane crash that killed Greg Biffle and six others, indicating the flight experienced electrical and flight-instrument anomalies that likely degraded the pilot’s situational awareness. The aircraft returned toward the airport and executed an unstabilized approach, first impacting the runway lighting short of the runway. No evidence of engine or structural failure was found; both engines were producing power at impact and major flight controls were accounted for. Key issues cited include a malfunctioning left-side altitude indicator, possible additional inoperative left-side instruments, the Garmin GTN-750 unit stopping to record airspeed and heading, and degraded cockpit voice recorder audio consistent with an electrical power issue. The report is preliminary and may change; a final determination on probable cause is typically issued 12–24 months after an accident.
