ARCA team hauler involved in highway crash after Iowa race
UPDATE: ARCA team involved in hauler crash will race at Watkins Glen
ILLINOIS — A hauler belonging to an ARCA Menards Series team was involved in a crash on the highway after Friday’s race at Iowa Speedway.
Clubb Racing posted photos on social media Saturday morning, showing their No. 03 hauler crashed on Interstate 80 in Illinois.
“Thankfully everyone involved is ok. Unfortunately most if not all of our equipment for the 03 is destroyed,” the team stated.
The team’s other car — the No. 86 — was in a separate hauler and wasn’t involved in the incident.
Clubb Racing started a GoFundMe to raise money to replace the damaged equipment. You can find the GoFundMe here at this link.
At Iowa, Alex Clubb drove the No. 03 Ford to the finish in 20th, 17 laps down.
Meanwhile, teammate — and TRE’s own — Colby Evans finished 23rd. Mechanical issues ruled him out of his ARCA debut after completing 62 of the 150 laps.
Evans talked with TRE’s Ryan Kemna after the race:
