Travis Kvapil's Sprint Cup Car And Trailer Stolen From Hotel Parking Lot
Travis Kvapil's Sprint Cup Car And Trailer Stolen From Hotel Parking Lot-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:44

The truck and trailer containing the number 44 Team Xtreme Sprint Cup race car driven by Travis Kvapil was out of a Morrow, Georgia, Drury Inn parking lot where the team was spending the night.

Kvapil was scheduled to drive the number 44 at this weekend's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but unfortunately, with no car to race, they were forced to . This was supposed to be this season's Sprint Cup debut for Kvapil. Reed Sorenson drove #44 for the Daytona 500, however, he is driving for another team this weekend for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500.

Team Xtreme No. 44 car and its hauler disappeared from outside the team's hotel in Morrow, Ga.

According to , the police report values the car at $250,000. Also inside the trailer was a backup engine valued at $100,000 and and $17,500 worth of other equipment.

The white Sunbeam trailer was stolen early this morning. Per , the thieves in a silver Jeep Cherokee were caught on surveillance camera hauling off the car and trailer at around 5:32 a.m.. Kvapil posted an image of the team's black 2004 Ford F350 hauling the stolen trailer, which sports New Jersey plates:

"All we know is it was a silver Jeep," team owner John Cohen said to . "One guy got out and they pulled off together."

The team plans to enter next week's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The team's hauler was safe and sound at Atlanta Motor Speedway, however, the car was being taken separately this time. If all else fails, they will have enough time before the Las Vegas race to put together a new car.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of the trailer (which could possibly be dumped once thieves discover that they would be unlikely to sell the items inside and get away with it), Travis Kvapil and the team would like to know:
