National Anthem NASCAR Car Stolen From Cracker Barrel Parking Lot
What kind of person would do something like this?
A Georgia car thief managed to make off with a NASCAR racer that was swiped from a Cracker Barrel parking lot.
The race car and trailer belonged to the Mike Harmon Racing team, who stopped at a Cracker Barrel in Kingsland, GA while traveling home from Daytona. Surveillance video shows the thief getting inside the Ford F-350 pickup truck attached to the trailer and taking off down I-95.
Inside the trailer was equipment and the No. 47 ‘We Stand for the National Anthem’ car driven by Kyle Weatherman – worth more than $400,000 total. Harmon says they hope to get a backup car ready in time for this weekend’s race at Dover.
Could the car thief even sell an actual NASCAR racer without getting caught?
