After we reported on Monday about serious problems at Trail Motorsports, including employees not being paid and the organization’s lack of equipment, the team’s future now appears to be even more in doubt. When the entry list for this weekend’s Truck Series race at Kansas came out on Monday, Chase Austin and the Trail #32 were on it. But a press release on Chase Austin’s website today says the team has withdrawn the #32 from the Kansas race, citing “funding issues.”
According to the release, Austin still has no formal contract with the team, and he says he doesn’t know what Trail’s plans are moving forward.
Trail Motorsports, which debuted in 2009 to much fanfare because of the minority ownership and driver, now appears to be in serious jeopardy. If we hear anymore about the future of the team, we will let you know.
