Biffle Estate Faces $40 Million in Crash Lawsuits

8 sourcesUpdated Sep 5, 2026

Nicole Biffle, the ex-wife of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, is seeking $10 million from his estate over the December 2025 plane crash that killed their 14-year-old daughter, Emma, along with Biffle and five others. Her wrongful-death lawsuit alleges Emma was experiencing flu-like symptoms, asked not to fly, and was nevertheless pressured by her father to board the aircraft; it also seeks an order preventing further estate distributions. The filing is among multiple lawsuits stemming from the crash, including claims totaling $30 million by the families of pilot Dennis Dutton and his son, Jack. Preliminary National Transportation Safety Board findings cited cockpit instrument failures and the absence of a properly qualified second-in-command, while the lawsuits also allege negligence involving aircraft maintenance and flight decisions. The claims remain allegations as investigations and litigation continue.
