REPORT: Holiday cards from family of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle received by friends in heartbreaking reminder

December 24, 2025

From the Daily Mail: Christmas cards mailed by NASCAR legend Greg Biffle and his family have begun arriving in mailboxes this week, delivering a heartbreaking reminder of the lives lost days before the holiday.

Biffle died tragically along with his wife and their two children when their private jet crashed in North Carolina last week. Friends and loved ones said they started receiving the cards, sent in early December.

‘I received this in the mail today,’ Ron Herbert, a North Carolina restaurateur and longtime friend of the racing community, wrote in a social media post. ‘My words can’t say enough about the family.’

Herbert, who owns Red Rocks Cafe in Huntersville and has grown close to many NASCAR drivers over the years, shared an image of the card showing Biffle smiling alongside his wife, Cristina, their 14-year-old daughter Emma, and their 5-year-old son Ryder.

The holiday card includes a photo of the smiling family, along with the following message, “We hope that you are able to slow down and enjoy the magic and joy that this season has to offer. We hope you have a great New Year! Sending love, Greg, Cristina, Emma & Ryder.”

In addition to the Biffle family, three other people were killed in the plane crash on Dec. 18: Craig Wadsworth, a family friend and NASCAR motorhome driver, Dennis Dutton, 67, a commercial pilot, and his son Jack Dutton, 20.

On December 9, just 9 days before the family was tragically killed in the plane crash, Biffle had posted a heartwarming video on his YouTube channel as they took their children to pick out a Christmas tree.

Tuesday, December 23, was Greg Biffle’s birthday. He would have been 56 years old.
