Stolen car found
Team Xtreme’s stolen race car is found abandoned in in a wooded area near Loganville, Georgia. The discovery is too late for Kvapil and the team to compete in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kvapil:
It’s really bizarre. You can handle maybe getting a flat tire, or getting caught up in a wreck, or a blown engine, something that actually happens on the race track. Or you don’t qualify, because you don’t have enough speed. But to not even get a chance … that’s pretty disheartening.
So Happy to have "old faithful" back. Favorite race car. pic.twitter.com/ZtAdKyPSg6
