Ed's Statement on ECR Trailer fire

September 26th 2013 - STATEMENT FROM ED CARPENTER, following a fire early Wednesday morning in Arizona with the ECR/Fuzzy’s tractor/trailer rig:

"Our ECR/Fuzzy’s Vodka trailer caught fire early Wednesday morning in Arizona, on I-40 near Flagstaff, after Tuesday’s test session at Fontana. Our truck drivers, Matt Giese and Jeff Hughes, are okay. The No. 20 Fuzzy’s Vodka Chevrolet race car and some equipment are also okay. We are still evaluating the damage at this time. We would like to thank the Andretti Autosport teams and their truck drivers who stopped to assist Matt and Jeff with the incident. We hope to have additional information on the trailer and equipment as soon as it is available.”
