Joey Gase and Jimmy Means Racing suffered heartbreak after Saturday night's VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300 at Kentucky Speedway as the team's hauler caught fire on the way home, sustaining serious damage.
A crew member was injured while trying to help firefighters, according to the team's post on Facebook about the incident.
The team also posted a video on Facebook surveying the damage to the hauler.
Along with the video is this summary of the incident and damage: "Unfortunately our trip back home didn't go as well as the race did for us last weekend. The teams transporter caught on fire about 80 miles from the shop & is completely ruined. Everything on our pit box (computers, seats, etc) are all destroyed as well. We haven't been able to get the cars down yet (one we are hoping to use this weekend in Dover) but we are hoping for just smoke damage."
Gase later tweeted out pictures of the damage.
Gase finished 21st at Kentucky and is 21st in the NASCAR XFINITY Series standings.
