NASCAR Team’s Hauler Flips on I-80
Clubb Racing’s return from Iowa Speedway took a devastating turn after their hauler was involved in a severe crash on Interstate 80. This happened after the NASCAR Series at Iowa.
The independent NASCAR team had just wrapped up the ARCA Menards Series race when disaster struck. Team owner and driver Alex Clubb revealed that the hauler flipped after a team member fell asleep at the wheel. While the trailer was still overturned, multiple semi-trucks slammed into it, leaving the vehicle, racecar, and equipment destroyed.

“We’re down a trailer, a truck, and a racecar,” Clubb told Frontstretch. “He [the driver] hit the median, flipped it, then about five semis kept hitting us.”
On social media, Clubb Racing posted photos from the wreck with the caption, “Really bad night coming home along I-80 in Illinois. Thankfully everyone involved is ok. Unfortunately, most if not all of our equipment for the #03 is destroyed.”
A GoFundMe page was launched to help offset the damage, which the team estimates will cost around $80,000 to replace. As of this writing, donations have already topped $12,000.
“This was around 1 a.m.,” Clubb wrote on GoFundMe. “The car was so badly damaged, they couldn’t even rotate it at the scene. The trailer was rolled onto its side and towed about 30 minutes to a yard. We’re now dealing with a totaled truck, destroyed gear, and an $8,000 tow bill.”
Despite the massive loss, Clubb emphasized the most important outcome: everyone involved walked away unharmed.
