Ex-NASCAR legend reveals ‘anger’ following Greg Biffle’s horrific plane crash
Greg Biffle’s wife had texted the former’s Mother-in-Law minutes before the plane crash, as they were aware that something was up. Though the pilots tried to turn the plane around and land it before crashing, it was too late and couldn’t be saved anymore.

As such, the plane crashed horrifically and created a huge fireball in the aftermath of the crash. Now, NASCAR’s ex-legend Mark Martin pens down his true thoughts following Biffle’s tragic incident.
Mark Martin reckoned that he couldn’t help but feel angry at the passing away of Greg Biffle and his family. Martin continued that aviation was a safe way to travel for the majority of the time. However, air travel remained savage to the NASCAR community and claimed the lives of many people in the past, and was still continuing to do so.
I can’t help feeling angry. Aviation is a very safe way to travel BUT has been savage to our racing community and families throughout history.
