Life & legacy of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle

Retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, his wife, Cristina, their son Ryder, and Greg's daughter, Emma, were killed in a plane crash in North Carolina. LiveNOW's Mike Pache spoke about Biffle's career as a NASCAR driver and his legacy off the track with FOX Sports reporter Bob Pockrass.

Retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle’s North Carolina home was burglarized last week, sheriff’s deputies said, weeks after Biffle and his family were killed in a plane crash. 

The burglary happened a week before a public memorial service to remember Biffle, his wife and kids, and the others who died in the fiery crash a week before Christmas. You can watch the memorial live here at 11 a.m. EST Friday.

Federal regulators are still investigating the cause of the crash.

Biffle drove for 18 years and was named by NASCAR as one of its top 75 drivers in history. He was a Hall of Fame nominee for the stock car series. He drew headlines last year with tireless humanitarian efforts as a helicopter pilot supplying aid in the devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene.
