Images of a Stewart-Haas Racing hauler being involved in an accident were circulated on social media Thursday night. On Friday morning, Stewart-Haas Racing confirmed that one of its haulers was damaged in an accident coming back from Phoenix Raceway. No one in the hauler was hurt, and they were back on the road soon after.
The organization said the hauler pulled off the highway onto the shoulder. Then, a car side-swiped the hauler, which was not one of the primary transporters. It was an additional hauler for the “West Coast Swing” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Phoenix Raceway. All of the Stewart-Haas Racing entries for this weekend are unharmed.
Stewart-Haas Racing hopes that its weekend at Phoenix goes better than it started. Noah Gragson carried the organization to a sixth-place finish at Las Vegas, providing optimism that more good runs are on the horizon. Stewart-Haas Racing has been good at Phoenix in the NextGen car, so a win is not out of the question this weekend.
