  Today is Thursday, December 18th and it's not a good day.
• 0:07
  Horrible tragedy today. Greg Biffle, his wife, his two
• 0:12
  children, my dear friend Craig Wadsworth all killed in a a
• 0:20
  plane wreck in Statesville, NC. Now I want to address me doing a
• 0:27
  little tribute and celebrating their lives.
• 0:32
  What I find that happens during these times is everybody gets on
• 0:37
  social media because they're in disbelief, their heart broke.
• 0:42
  And I thought I would do this because I want to give you a
• 0:47
  look inside my dear friend Craig Wadsworth, who drove our
• 0:53
  motorhome for six years. So I've decided to do this video
• 0:58
  because I think we all need to share our stories.
• 1:06
  And that's why I'm doing this. I think it's the right thing to
• 1:10
  do. So let's start out with Greg
• 1:13
  Biffle, my dear friend John Roberts.
• 1:18
  We would do that speed TV show. And John Roberts would say stick
• 1:24
  with the Biff. Every week it's like, who's
• 1:28
  going to win this race? Johnny Roberts and John Roberts
• 1:31
  would say, I'm going to stick with the Biff.
• 1:36
  Greg Biffle, champion winning race car driver, husband,
• 1:45
  father. So much to Biff, so much more to
• 1:50
  Biff than just driving that race car humanitarian.
• 1:57
  You know, Biff was really good at his trade.
• 2:01
  I he was one of the best, like I said, great race car driver,
• 2:06
  winner and a champion. But as we clearly saw as life
• 2:13
  progressed, it's like, is there more to Biff?
• 2:17
  And boy, there was, I did a Kenny conversation with the Biff
• 2:21
  and this guy had it going on when when the hurricane was at
• 2:27
  Helena, it went through the North Carolina mountains.
• 2:31
  It was then what we saw Greg Biffle was all about.
• 2:35
  It was Greg Biffle, Andy Petrie Cletus, you know, Garrett
• 2:41
  Mitchell. They all got in their
• 2:42
  helicopters. And Greg Biffle, what a great
• 2:47
  pilot, got in that helicopter and became a humanitarian
• 2:52
  mission. He would save people stuck in
• 2:56
  the mountains. You should hear these stories
• 2:58
  about Greg Biffle. He found joy in helping people.
• 3:03
  Just incredible. Biffle had a machine shop
• 3:09
  business. It's like, OK, his NASCAR career
• 3:11
  is over, but his life didn't stop.
• 3:15
  He had a place in the Bahamas. He had a place out on the West
• 3:18
  Coast. Great Biffle.
• 3:21
  My gosh, there was so much to him.
• 3:25
  My heart, my heart breaks for everybody involved.
• 3:29
  Once again, I said, I'm doing this because I feel like we
• 3:32
  should tell stories and and celebrate everybody's life.
• 3:36
  Now, I didn't know much about Greg Biffle's wife and beautiful
• 3:40
  children, but Greg Biffle has died this Thursday, December
• 3:48
  18th in a plane wreck. And now listen, everybody's
• 3:51
  going to go. What happened?
• 3:52
  You know, all I know is they took off from the Statesville
• 3:55
  airport. Cloudy day seemed like something
• 3:59
  went wrong and they they they did AU turn and they came back
• 4:04
  and by God, the airport was right there and the plane, you
• 4:12
  know, fell to the ground and then burst into flames.
• 4:14
  Now that that's all I know right there.
• 4:17
  And the reason I even bring that up is because everybody in the
• 4:19
  real world is what happened. What happened?
• 4:23
  You can find that, that that flight plan you, you can find
• 4:28
  that on the Internet and my friends have been sharing it
• 4:30
  with me. That's what I know.
• 4:34
  No one switch gears to Craig Wadsworth.
• 4:39
  Oh my God, I just can't believe this.
• 4:41
  Craig was like family to us at my daughter's weddings, Drove
• 4:48
  our motor coach for six years at least.
• 4:52
  And the only reason that Craig and I went our separate ways was
• 4:56
  in 2015. I retired, I was done and we
• 5:00
  gave each other a big hug and Craig found his way working with
• 5:04
  the great Greg Biffle and Kim and I and our family, we moved
• 5:08
  back to Saint Louis, but it wasn't two years ago.
• 5:13
  Craig called me up and said, Herman, I'm headed out to
• 5:15
  Biffle. So I'm taking a, a, a dune buggy
• 5:18
  out to Biffle. Man, Biffle, Biffle had so much
• 5:22
  great workmanship. He had these big dune buggies
• 5:25
  and, and, and the Biff had the boat down at down at in the
• 5:29
  Bahamas. But so Craig would stop by here
• 5:34
  and got a beautiful picture. I'm so glad we took that
• 5:37
  picture. It shows Kim and myself with
• 5:40
  Louie or Lucy and I'm sure glad we got that picture.
• 5:44
  But Craig Wadsworth, let me talk about Craig.
• 5:48
  Craig is the 1. He is the man that taught me and
• 5:52
  saved my life and created 2 words.
• 5:55
  This wonderful phrase, no drama, no drama.
• 6:03
  I had a couple other motorhome drivers before Craig and I would
• 6:07
  be in North Carolina and they would be out on the West Coast
• 6:11
  and they'd have a flat tire in the motorhome and they'd call me
• 6:15
  and I would say, well, I'm in North Carolina, what can I do?
• 6:20
  Well, when Craig became my motorhome driver, you never knew
• 6:24
  anything was wrong. And I believe I was at Richmond
• 6:27
  and I said, Craig, I said you, you never complained.
• 6:30
  There's there's never nothing wrong.
• 6:33
  Craig could do anything. And Craig Wadsworth looked at me
• 6:37
  and he said, Herman, there's no drama.
• 6:40
  I got it handled. I looked at him and I just gave
• 6:43
  Craig a big old hug. I said, Craig, I will never
• 6:46
  forget that phrase as long as I live.
• 6:50
  I think I'm going to create a T-shirt and it's going to say no
• 6:54
  drama. Craig Wadsworth in his memory.
• 6:59
  The other thing great about Craig is, man, was he a great
• 7:03
  chef that that guy could cook like nobody.
• 7:06
  He would spoil my wife Kim. Kim and I would, you know, land
• 7:11
  at the NASCAR tracks and Craig was always there to pick us up
• 7:15
  and he'd take us to the motorhome and we'd walk up in
• 7:18
  there and, and Kim was spoiled. Craig would cut fresh cut
• 7:24
  flowers and have them in a vase for Kim.
• 7:27
  Oh Kim loved him just like we all did.
• 7:32
  Never forget that. No drama, fresh cut flowers at
• 7:39
  my at my daughter's weddings. Sure going to miss Craig.
• 7:48
  And he, he was, he was a Jack of all trades.
• 7:51
  Craig Wodsworth could do everything he really could, and
• 7:55
  that's why he worked for the BIFF.
• 7:56
  When I would watch those humanitarian missions on
• 7:59
  national TV, you'd see the Biff and in the background you'd see
• 8:03
  Craig. Craig was right there.
• 8:09
  Sigh. Everybody well, tell your
• 8:10
  stories. Tell your stories about the
• 8:13
  Biff. Stick with the Biff.
• 8:17
  I know John Roberts is hurt in the day because I believe it was
• 8:23
  Greg Biff. I think he started or somebody
• 8:25
  started a a pet calendar and everybody had their pictures
• 8:31
  taken with a pet. And I believe that's why John
• 8:34
  Roberts and Greg Biffle became such great friends.
• 8:38
  And I know Johnny's hurt in a day and I know all of you are.
• 8:42
  My prayers with Greg Biffle and everybody involved.
• 8:49
  I love you all and Christmas is around the corner.
• 8:53
  Share your stories right here. And once again, I just thought
• 8:56
  this was the best thing to do was to celebrate them.
• 9:00
  Greg Biffle, man, what a legend. Humanitarian of the year for the
• 9:06
  Biff for what he did for Hurricane Helena and, and
• 9:10
  rescuing all those people. You know, you find a man's true
• 9:14
  colors when when people are in need and when people needed
• 9:21
  help. You know, the three people that
• 9:25
  I saw going to work was Greg Biffle, Andy Petrie, and the man
• 9:31
  that became Greg Biffle's new friend, Garrett Mitchell, which
• 9:35
  is Cletus MacFarlane. So Cletus is a Cletus is a good
• 9:41
  man and he made a quick statement very quick.
• 9:44
  He said, listen up everybody, it's true.
• 9:47
  So if you go to Cletus Macfarlane's YouTube page,
• 9:52
  Garrett Mitchell, that's his name, Garrett Mitchell, he said,
• 9:56
  I'm sorry to report, but they were coming to my place.
• 10:01
  And when I watched national news, Fox TV just a little bit
• 10:04
  ago, it showed the fight. The flight plan was the BIFF was
• 10:10
  headed to Sarasota, FL. And that makes sense because
• 10:14
  Cletus owns, you know, the racetrack right there, Sarasota,
• 10:20
  which is Bradenton, what they call it the Freedom Factory.
• 10:24
  Then I don't know how long the BIFF was going to stay, but then
• 10:27
  they were going to go on to the Bahamas.
• 10:29
  And I just want to leave you all with this.
• 10:34
  When I was trying to see if my dear friend Craig Wodsworth was
• 10:39
  in the wreck, I thought the only thing I know to do is to go to
• 10:42
  Craig's Snapchat because he was a Snapchat and fool and Craig
• 10:50
  Wodsworth would document his life.
• 10:53
  And I got a week behind or so. And so I was I was fast
• 10:57
  forwarding through and my heart dropped because right there was
• 11:03
  a quick video of Craig Wadsworth on Greg Biffle's plane taxian.
• 11:11
  And at that time I knew Craig was on the plane.
• 11:15
  All right, everybody, I love you all.
• 11:19
  And as everybody says during tragedy, let the simple stuff go
• 11:26
  and love your family.
