The estate of retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle is facing a $10 million claim filed by his ex-wife, Nicole Biffle, following a December 18, 2025, plane crash in North Carolina. The Cessna C550 business jet, owned by Biffle, crashed upon landing, resulting in the deaths of Biffle, his wife Cristina Grossu, his daughter Emma Biffle, and his son Ryder. Nicole Biffle filed a wrongful death lawsuit in May against the estate of the driver, the estate of pilot Dennis Dutton, and GB Aviation Leasing. The lawsuit alleges negligence, specifically claiming the flight departed without proper clearance or air traffic control contact during inclement weather. Nicole Biffle has requested a court order to prevent further asset distributions from the estate to ensure funds remain available for her claim. The estate currently faces three separate wrongful death lawsuits totaling $40 million in claims.
