NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and two pilots escaped unharmed in an incident Wednesday morning during an airplane landing.

A mechanical failure during a landing at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Ky., caused the plane to skid to a stop on the runway. No one on board the aircraft was injured.

Biffle drives for Roush Fenway Racing. Team owner Jack Roush was injured in a crash while landing his airplane last year. He has since returned to full duty with the team.
