Greg Biffle’s Plane goes down in a fiery 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 .

The country lost a true Patriot on Thursday when Greg Biffle lost his life. The situation was only made worse when reports suggested he wasn’t alone.

The NASCAR legend is in the news on Thursday for a shocking and unfortunate reason. A private jet owned by him 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩ed at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina. Biffle, his wife, and two kids were all on board his plane when it 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩ed.

“Unfortunately, I can confirm Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, daughter Emma, and son Ryder were on that plane,” Garrett Mitchell wrote via Facebook on Thursday. He knew that “because they were on their way to spend the afternoon with us.”

“We are devastated. I’m so sorry to share this,” he finished.

The plane was a Cessna C550 owned by GB Aviation Leasing. The plane matches an address for NASCAR star Greg Biffle in Mooresville, N.C., Yahoo Sports confirmed. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that there were six people on board. The names of the two other people have not been released. That is likely one or two other families who will equally be devastated.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
