NASCAR driver Greg Biffle perishes in plane crash

I was not really a fan of Biffle, but he was a successful driver.

This is a sad tragedy, as he, his wife, daughter and son all died when his Cessna crashed while trying to land in inclement weather at Statesville airport in Florida.

Very sad

A true tragedy, and an amazingly humble person in an occupation dominated by egos and type "A" personalities. I'm fortunate to have been around him, and was impressed with his ability to interact with officials, drivers and fans on the same level of equality and attention. Recently lauded for SE hurricane aid, this was common for him.
He was NASCAR Champion in two of their three divisions, and barely missed winning the third, which no one else has done.
