CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – The first grants from the Biffle Family Legacy Impact Fund will be awarded about three months after NASCAR legend Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, their children and three others died in a plane crash in Statesville.
“The main goal with the fund right now is to think about what was important to Greg and Cristina,” said Jordyn Biffle Carpenter, the fund’s advisor.
Biffle Carpenter is Greg and Cristina Biffle’s niece and is overseeing the fund’s donations with the help of Foundation for the Carolinas.
After racing fans and groups flooded the Biffle’s with inquires about how they could continue to support some of Greg Biffle’s favorite charities and causes, the fund was born.

“[The outreach] very overwhelming, but welcomed. Greg meant a lot to a lot of people of different people. He supported a lot of different organizations and groups,” said Biffle Carpenter. “We tried to think of ideas. We wanted to start a foundation to honor their memory of Greg and Cristina and figure our how we move forward.”
Some of the notable organizations Greg Biffle supported were the Lake Norman Humane Society, the Red Cross as well as cancer research efforts. He also did a lot of work to help Western North Carolina rebuild after Hurricane Helene.
With the foundation now in motion, the rest of the Biffle family is now carrying forward the responsibility of what Greg and Cristina Biffle stood for.
“Greg and Cristina both were all gas no brakes, 24/7, always going, always doing stuff. I find myself almost on a daily basis being like ‘This is what it really felt like to be them everyday?’” said Biffle Carpenter. “To hear people talk about Greg and Cristina it makes you smile, but it makes you sad. It’s hard. I would do anything to have them here.”
