Someone broke into Greg Biffle’s Lake Norman home, stole $30,000, sheriff says
Someone broke into the Lake Norman home of the late NASCAR driver Greg Biffle last week and stole $30,000 in cash and a $30 backpack, an Iredell County Sheriff’s Office incident report states.
Biffle was killed with his wife, their two children and three others in a Dec. 18 plane crash at Statesville Regional Airport.
The family lived on Doolie Road in Mooresville, along a cove of the lake near Lake Norman High School.
Their home was broken into sometime between 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 7, and 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8, according to the report.
The report lists no suspects or arrests.
The weapon or tools used in the break-in are unknown, the report states.
Biffle will be remembered during a “Burnout for Biff” tribute in downtown Mooresville on Friday.
Biffle’s life and legacy will be honored from 3 to 5 p.m. on Main Street.
“This tribute celebrates Greg Biffle’s extraordinary racing career and his lasting connection to Mooresville, Race City USA,” according to a town of Mooresville news release.
“Greg’s passion for racing was matched only by his generous heart,” according to the town. “He lived with intensity, purpose, and a deep love for his family and community.”
You Tube personality Cleetus McFarland, whose real name is Lawrence Garrett Mitchell, will perform a tribute burnout near Biffle’s North Carolina Auto Racing Walk of Fame star.
A collection of Biffle racing memorabilia will be displayed in the Charles Mack Citizen Center, supported by the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame.
The event also will highlight causes the Biffle family supported, including the American Red Cross and Lake Norman Humane Society.
