A NASCAR hauler was involved in a crash in Arizona on Wednesday afternoon.
Riley Herbst’s No. 98 Xfinity Series hauler, owned by Stewart-Haas Racing, was involved in a single-vehicle accident in Flagstaff while en route to Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 12.
Sprint car driver Spencer Hill shared a video on Twitter showing the aftermath of the crash, along with the following comment: “Oh my goodness! This doesn’t look good. The No. 98 Xfinity Series truck was involved in a serious crash in Flagstaff, Arizona, on Wednesday afternoon. Let’s hope everyone involved is okay.”
Stewart-Haas Racing has issued a statement regarding the accident:
Early this morning, the No. 98 NASCAR Xfinity Series truck from Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) was involved in a single-vehicle accident on Interstate 40, a few miles west of Flagstaff, Arizona. The truck had two occupants, neither of whom suffered serious injuries, although one was transported to a local hospital for treatment and observation. No further details regarding their condition are available at this time.
SHR can confirm that speed was not a contributing factor in the accident. Although the truck sustained damage, both the trailer and its contents appear to have escaped relatively unscathed. Arrangements are already underway for a new truck to be coupled to the trailer and transport it to Las Vegas Motor Speedway in time for the Xfinity Series trailer park, scheduled for 10:30 a.m. PDT on Friday.
