A somber ceremony held in Charlotte's Bojangles Coliseum brought together hundreds of racing fans, friends, and former co-workers to pay their respects to Greg Biffle and his family, who were among seven killed in a plane crash last month. The service, which was open to the public and livestreamed on NASCAR platforms, featured tributes from some of Biffle's closest colleagues, including Phil Parsons, Jeff Burton, Jordyn Biffle, and Garrett Mitchell.
Biffle's untimely death was met with an outpouring of grief from the NASCAR community, which had come to regard him as one of its most beloved figures. A Hall of Fame nominee in his own right, Biffle was celebrated for his tireless humanitarian efforts, particularly through his work as a helicopter pilot supplying aid after Hurricane Helene devastated the region.
The 55-year-old driver was known not only for his on-track accomplishments but also for his kind heart and dedication to helping others. His family's tragic loss has left fans reeling, with many struggling to come to terms with the sudden and senseless nature of Biffle's passing.
As mourners gathered outside the coliseum, they paid their respects to Biffle by visiting a display of vehicles he had competed in during his illustrious career. Inside, the faces of the seven individuals who lost their lives were displayed on a videoboard above the makeshift stage, serving as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the crash.
Chaplain Billy Mauldin delivered a moving eulogy at the service, while others took to the microphone to share memories and stories of Biffle's life. The ceremony also featured tributes from his family members and loved ones, who were visibly shaken by their loss.
The cause of the plane crash remains under investigation by the NTSB, but for now, the focus is on honoring Biffle's memory and celebrating his enduring legacy in the world of motorsports. As fans continue to grapple with the news of his passing, one thing is clear: Greg Biffle will be deeply missed, not only by those who knew him but also by the entire NASCAR community.

i'm not sure what's worse, the fact that it happened or that it had to happen at all... can't believe we're saying goodbye to someone as kind & talented as Greg 
i feel bad for his family and all the fans who are strugglin to come to terms with this 
but at the same time, it's cool that they're comin together like this to honor his memory and celebrate his life 
i just hope the ppl investigatin the crash get to the bottom of it so we can find out wha really happened 
. I loved watching him on track, but what really stood out about him was how down-to-earth and humble he was off the track too 
. The tributes from his colleagues and family at the service were truly touching, it's clear that he left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him 
. Can't believe we're saying goodbye to someone so young and full of life 
. The NASCAR community is going to miss him greatly 
.
It feels like the whole NASCAR community is just still trying to process their emotions right now, which I totally get, but also kinda wish they could just focus on celebrating his life instead of mourning his death all day.
about Greg Biffle's passing it's like he was just gone 2o seconds ago 
I remember when I was in school we had a guest speaker from NASCAR and he told us about Biffle's humanitarian work 
it's amazing to see how many ppl r affected by his passing 
I feel bad 4 the fans who knew him personally, especially his family 
they're clearly devastated 
it's great 2 c so many tributes & memories being shared about Biffle's life 
. The outpouring of love from the NASCAR community is a testament to the kind heart he had 
... I mean, can't believe we're losing more good people to one stupid plane crash 
. Biffle was more than just a driver, he was a human being with a heart of gold 
anyone else watching this service?
... but at the same time, I'm so grateful for the memories we do have of him. Rest in peace, Greg 
. It's crazy to think about all the good he did off track too, like helping with Hurricane Helene relief efforts - he was truly a kind soul 
. As a celebrated humanitarian, Biffle's tireless efforts to aid those affected by natural disasters like Hurricane Helene are truly admirable. His legacy extends far beyond his impressive racing achievements, leaving behind a family and community that will deeply miss him 
. The fact that he was a Hall of Fame nominee and had such a huge impact on the racing community is just amazing 
️. I mean, who would've thought that a guy who supplied aid after Hurricane Helene would end up being one of the most beloved figures in NASCAR? 
️. And can we talk about how moving it must've been for Phil Parsons, Jeff Burton, Jordyn Biffle, and Garrett Mitchell to be speaking tributes about Greg? 
. Anyways, I just hope the NTSB gets to the bottom of what happened and that we can all remember Greg Biffle as the kind-hearted guy who touched so many lives
