The Instagram video shows Biffle calling up a fan for 'Biffmas' - the former NASCAR driver's annual Christmas giveaway, where he gifts a fan connected with his social media challenge. In Sunday's video, Biffle can be seen giving the fan a Corvette sports car along with a cash gift of $1,200.

“Thanks so much for sharing the videos this Biffmas can’t wait for next year,” he wrote in the caption.

The joyous occasion, now marred by the death of Biffle, his wife Cristina Grossu and his children, daughter Emma and son Ryder, turned heartbreaking. Biffle revealed his plan for next year's 'Biffmas' saying that he and his wife, Cristina, "can't wait" for the gifting session next year again.

Thousands of Greg Biffle fans flocked under the post and expressed condolences in comments over the tragedy to the Biffle family.

Winner Of ‘Biffmas’ Express Condolences

The person who won the sports car and $1,200 for Greg Biffle's annual Christmas tradition, Biffmas, reacted to the plane crash with a message on Instagram.

"Tragedy is understatement. Prayers to the family and those involved in the crash," the Biffmas winner wrote. "Just last week was speaking to Greg on the phone and texting with Christina.

"In our short conversations this past week, not only did he make a week that was extremely sad and hard for my family better, but showed his character as a dude who genuinely cared and lived every day to the fullest."
