Lima, OH, October 21, 2026 —

The estate of Craig Wadsworth has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in Iredell County, North Carolina, against the estate of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and other defendants, according to the information provided about the case.

The suit alleges that Biffle hired an unqualified co-pilot to save money and that the decision contributed to a fatal plane crash in Statesville, North Carolina. The crash resulted in seven deaths, including Biffle and Wadsworth. The allegations are claims made in the lawsuit; the information available does not include findings by a court or investigators establishing their accuracy.

The summary of the case does not identify the other defendants named in the suit or provide the date the lawsuit was filed. It also does not specify the co-pilot’s name, explain what qualifications the suit says were lacking, or provide further details about the alleged cost-saving decision.

Details about the crash beyond its location and the number of people killed were not provided. The available information also does not say what damages the Wadsworth estate is seeking, whether any defendants have responded, or whether the case has reached a court ruling. Those details remain unclear based on the information provided.

The lawsuit places responsibility for the deaths at issue through its allegations about the co-pilot’s qualifications and the decision to hire that person. No additional claims, evidence, or procedural developments were included in the summary. The case is described as a wrongful-death suit filed by Wadsworth’s estate against Biffle’s estate and others.
