Anybody know who race car trailer that was?

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

It looks likes someones first generation Camaro or whats left of it...

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

That was Nick and Brian Folk.

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

any word on the folks? hope they are ok.

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

I was told they were ok, but it's not a direct source so I could be wrong. It's hard to believe that pile of ash used to be a trailer....

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

Really????

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

What?

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

That sucks. The Folks are such great people. Hope they are okay.

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

I texted with Brian

He, Nick, their dad Ron, friend Walt, and KJ Mulligan are all okay. They got rearended hard, And as you can see in the pix, the trailer is a loss. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers

Prayers sent!

Prayers to everyone involved. As sad as it is to see the damage, it is very very fortunate more lives were not lost - and in the end, that's what really matters.

Drive defensively out there, because there are many idiots we share the road with who drive very OFFENSIVELY!

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

According to the article a Camaro and 3 dragsters were also destroyed in the crash...

And said "race car fuel". It's gasoline. Same as if he had run over a lawn care company's trailer

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

Looked to me like the semi had more "fuel" probably 200 gallons in the tanks.
So glad the Folk family is OK. It will be a battle with insurance companies. If they had their own insurance it will be easier but if the race cars are not insured it will be a lot of work to get the values back.
As an insurance adjuster for 25 years I know how it works and it will get "very interesting".

I hope it works out for them, they are a TRUE ASSET to our sport in every way.

Brian or Nick or any of their friends....have them call me and I might be able to help with valuation appraisals for their lost equipment.

Jimmy the Shoe makes an apperance in the news video that Brian is interviewed in .

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

was that the stacker trailer?

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

Yes it was.

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

The video clearly shows the ONE container of race fuel appears to have come through this unscathed. Stupid sensationalizing media.

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

Boy thats a horrible situation. I hope the Folk's have some insurance to cover the loss. Thats alot of expensive equipment damaged in the acident. The trailer and contents were completely destroyed and it looks like the toter was heavily damaged as well. That was all first class equipment.

Glad to hear that all of their crew and family on board are OK.

Re: I75 closed at KY-TN line due to crash
 

Sensationalism, how about falsification of the facts. The reporter stated that the race "trailer was carrying enough race fuel to cause this fireball" as it was showing the burning cab of a the semi in front of Folk's rig. How did race fuel cause that "fireball" some 70 feet away in front of the scene. Oh, them news people always get the facts right. HA.

Also did not see the semi that was supposed to cause this accident, which reportedly hit a pick up, then a van, then the Folk RV, and then the other semi.

Really glad that the Folk's and friends are OK.

You have to feel bad for the family of the person driving
The pickup. Just driving down the road and gets rearended. Was the truck driver txting¿???? We all drive down the road and as you get older for me scare me to death what could happen. 2010 going to Bowling Green had a 18 wheeler move over at Ky/TN I65.Thanks for the man above I didn't hit him.
Glad that the Folks are OK.
