Stephanie Rembert, the daughter of BK Racing crew chief Joe Williams, was killed Saturday in a car accident.
According to multiple reports, Rembert was involved in a crash near Asheboro, North Carolina, then later airlifted to an area hospital where she passed away. The tragedy was described as “a freak car crash” by Roy Gangdal, a BK Racing team member who established an online fundraising campaign Sunday to support the family.

On behalf of everyone at BK Racing, our thoughts and prayers are with Crew Chief Joe Williams and his entire family!

My thoughts are with my crew chief and his family. There’s been an account setup to help cover expenses. https://t.co/VJxlOs9wBt
