Kenny Wallace believes engine failure caused his friend Greg Biffle’s plane crash.
Kenny Wallace did not speak like a commentator, he spoke like a friend.
When news broke about Greg Biffle’s plane crash, the racing world went quiet for a moment. Sadness came quickly when people learned Biffle and his family died. Now Kenny Wallace has shared that he believes that engine failure caused the crash. His voice carried more pain than speculation.
Kenny believes something went wrong with the engine. Not recklessness, not carelessness. Just a mechanical failure. The kind that gives no warning. The kind you cannot outdrive.
‘Here’s what I think,’ he said on his YouTube channel. ‘I think the plane took off, I think they lost a motor, and then, I guess it started having a lot of drag on it. In other words… yes, we know it should fly just perfectly with one motor.
‘I think we lost a motor. That’s where all the up and down was taking place. They decide to come back. The flaps are down, and they don’t have any horsepower.
‘There was so much drag and they had the throttle wide open, they just didn’t make it. I think that’s what happened. They just didn’t make it to the runway.
‘May the Lord be with everybody, this is a very heartfelt discussion. It was a very tragic loss. Everybody wants to know what happened. I think it was a tragic loss of life and that’s what I respectfully think is what happened.
‘It has been a sad, sad couple of weeks here with the Greg Biffle tragedy.’
If engine failure was the cause, it is a cold reminder. Machines fail, life doesn’t warn you and control is often an illusion.
Kenny’s belief comes from love, not analysis. From relief, not blame. And from the simple truth that he’s lost someone who matters.
