Now, several of Biffle's followers are wondering if he is fine. The 55-year-old, or his family, has not issued a statement yet.
“For anyone wondering it was the Biff in the plane. I have a friend at the airport and a friend in NASCAR. The both were informed it was him and his family,” one person wrote under Biffle's latest Instagram post.
“Please tell me you’re still here bro. We lost so many people this year, i pray you won’t be one of them :(” another one added.

“I can confirm there were fatalities," Iredell County Sheriff Grant Campbell said, though he declined to say how many. Video from WSOC-TV showed first responders rushing onto the runway as flames burned near scattered wreckage from the plane.
The airport’s website states that Statesville Regional Airport offers corporate aviation facilities for Fortune 500 companies and several NASCAR teams.
Statesville is about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of Charlotte. Officials have not said whether there were injuries.
