NASCAR’s Kenny Wallace gave a heartbreaking theory on Greg Biffle’s final moments.

Several people, including former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, were killed when a plane crashed at the Statesville Regional Airport.

It was back on December 18 when the country was left in shock over the tragic news. According to flight tracking data, the plane took off at approximately 10:06 a.m. Eastern Time. Minutes later, it turned back towards the airport to attempt an emergency landing.

As to who was flying the plane, that is unclear. Three passengers on board were licensed pilots. That included Greg Biffle.

Another retired NASCAR driver has talked to enough people to make an educated guess about what went wrong.

NASCAR legend Kenny Wallace has shared a chilling theory about what may have gone wrong. Wallace said he believes the Cessna Citation lost a motor in the crash. It left the crew fighting drag and a lack of power as they tried to return to the runway.

Released footage showed the plane completely engulfed in flames as it slid down the tarmac. Biffle was killed along with his wife, Cristina, and their two children, Emma and Ryder. Craig Wadsworth, Dennis Dutton, and Dutton’s son, Jack, were also killed.

Wallace laid out his thinking on his YouTube channel as he tried to make sense of the final minutes.

“Here’s what I think,” he said.

“I think the plane took off, I think they lost a motor, and then, I guess it started having a lot of drag on it. In other words… yes, we know it should fly just perfectly with one motor. I think we lost a motor. That’s where all the up and down was taking place. They decide to come back. The flaps are down, and they don’t have any horsepower.”

“There was so much drag and they had the throttle wide open, they just didn’t make it. I think that’s what happened. They just didn’t make it to the runway.”

“May the Lord be with everybody, this is a very heartfelt discussion. It was a very tragic loss. Everybody wants to know what happened. I think it was a tragic loss of life, and that’s what I respectfully think is what happened.”

“It has been a sad, sad couple of weeks here with the Greg Biffle tragedy,” he finished.

The flight’s final moments have also been haunted by a desperate message sent from on board. Biffle’s mother-in-law, Cathy Grossu, told People she received a text. It came from her daughter moments before the crash, saying, “We’re in trouble.”

That message will haunt her for the rest of her life.

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.

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.
