Team Xtreme will not race this weekend after its car was stolen from a hotel parking lot.
A trailer, which contained a Sprint Cup Series car, was stolen overnight in the parking lot of a Georgia hotel causing a NASCAR team to withdraw from this weekend's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Team Xtreme Racing reported the missing trailer and car early Friday morning with crew chief Peter Sospenza calling authorities at 5:52 a.m. ET, according to a police report obtained by SB Nation. The dually trailer was unmarked.
The team had parked overnight at the Drury Inn in Morrow, Ga. Surveillance video showed a newer model Jeep Cherokee pulling into the parking lot around 5:30 a.m. with the trailer and the race car inside seen leaving shortly thereafter.
Travis Kvapil was slated to drive the No. 44 Chevrolet in Sunday's race. The team did not have a backup car and was forced to withdraw.
"Wow. Anyone near Atlanta find my stolen Cup let me know! Unreal," Kvapil posted on Twitter.
"I bet when whoever has it, opens the trailer and is going to be like ‘oh snap," Kvapil said.
