"Every day I get sicker and sicker about this tragedy," he wrote.

Biffle and Martin shared the track together from 2002 to 2009. Martin retired from racing professionally full time after the 2009 season, while Biffle continued to race through the 2016 season, and again in 2022. Martin and Biffle were with Roush Racing in the early 2000s as well.

Martin wrote that, as a pilot himself, the more "disturbing" Biffle crash becomes.
