In the few days since the death of Greg Biffle and his family last week, the NASCAR community is still coming to terms with it all. Mark Martin has commented multiple times on the matter. He is still going over the situation in his mind.

There are a lot of people in the NASCAR community who are also pilots. Flying is an everyday part of life for NASCAR drivers, teams, and personnel. Mark Martin has flown countless times as a pilot.

Today, Martin reflected on the death of his friend Greg Biffle once again. It is something that is still hard to accept.

“As a Citation pilot for 20 years and a product of around 75 days of [Flight Safety International] training and over 3000 hours of flight time in the aircraft I have deep knowledge of these aircraft and performance,” Martin said on X/Twitter. “The more I learn about Biffle’s crash the more disturbing it is to me.”

Mark Martin followed up that post quickly. He posted two photos of himself and Biffle speaking together at the race track. “Every day I get sicker and sicker about this tragedy.”

Greg Biffle’s death has shaken the NASCAR world to its core. One of the greatest drivers to ever sit behind the wheel, and one of the best human beings to do it as well.

It has been a terrible few days. Greg Biffle, his family, and the rest of the lives lost in the plane crash are on our hearts and minds even now.

Mark Martin still thinking about Greg Biffle

In the middle of the NASCAR offseason, and with the Holidays right around the corner, the death of Greg Biffle remains prevalent in the minds of race fans and those who knew and loved him and his family.

Drivers like Mark Martin spent years competing against Biffle and getting to know him. NASCAR is a very insular and tight-knit community. When there is tragedy and loss, it reverberates around the entire sport. To lose a legend like Biffle and in such a tragic accident, that’s a tough pill to swallow.

In the hours following Biffle’s death, Martin expressed frustration at the death of his friend and six others on the plane.

“I can’t help feeling angry,” Martin wrote on social media. “Aviation is a very safe way to travel BUT has been savage to our racing community and families throughout history.”

A lot of emotions go through your mind in the wake of tragedy. Sadness, anger, and so much more. Mark Martin and those who knew Biffle best are going through a sea of emotions. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the tragedy.
