It's Travis Kvapil's car that was stolen and he drives for one of the smallest teams on the circuit, they only had one car so they don't have a clue what they are gonna do about racing this weekend

The car was locked inside an enclosed trailer so I can't imagine the look on the thieves's face when they finally got it open and figured out what they actually stole

That's actually what I thought of at first too I'm just not sure what kind of money you could get out of one without being real obvious Nd getting cost

I mean it's not like a lot of the parts would have much street value

There is video and a few leads. He has withdrawn from the race this weekend.

New Jersey plates.

Low budget team. The guys who stole it are probably trying to figure out what to do with the car now.

Might check craigslist for a slightly used cup car.

The engine alone is worth 6 figs.

Yea but only to a very few ppl and it's gonna be real hard to get rid of When everyone knows there's a stolen engine floating around out there then some random guy who has no business having an engine in the first place is trying to sell me one? These guys are gonna get
caught

That or they'll just have to ditch the truck/trailer somewhere

Not a bad one to miss, if they even get it in. It's supposed to rain Sunday through Thursday.

Nascar is stupid for putting a race in Atlanta on March 1st.

Hope Bruton goes bankrupt.

Where should they run? The teams wanted a break from going to the west coast the week after Daytona.
