NickHolt Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Team Xtreme Racing trailer, Sprint Cup car stolen Atlanta, GA - Team Xtreme Racing confirmed early Friday morning a team's trailer and the No. 44 Chevrolet that was supposed to be raced in this weekend's Sprint Cup event at Atlanta Motor Speedway was stolen from a Georgia hotel overnight. The incident forced the team to withdraw from the race. The team's main hauler was at Atlanta Motor Speedway Friday morning, but the car and trailer were still missing. Due to Wednesday's winter weather, the team sent its main hauler to Atlanta, but the team was not finished preparing the car at the shop, according to the team's hauler driver. Once work on the primary car was completed, it was sent to Atlanta in a trailer pulled by a dually truck. At 5:32 a.m. ET, the dually truck and trailer, with the car, were stolen from the hotel parking lot. The team's hauler driver told FOXSports.com the theft was caught on camera. The team did not have a backup car as of Friday morning, and eventually informed NASCAR that it would be forced to withdraw from the race. While Reed Sorenson piloted the Team Xtreme Racing Chevrolet to a 32nd-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500, Travis Kvapil was slated to drive the car this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
