Shea Racing - Shea Holbrook

This was a first for and hopefully a last!

To the hundreds of you who reached out, offered trailers, or checked in on us, THANK YOU! We were completely overwhelmed by the kindness of the racing community. From competitors stopping roadside to the flood of messages in our inbox, your support is simply incredible.

While heading to COTA for the next GR Cup race, we experienced a trailer fire just 10 minutes away from our shop. This was not a maintenance issue or driver error. Sometimes, despite every precaution, “things happen.” We’ve since learned this is more common than many realize. A massive thank you to the The Volusia County Professional Firefighters Association (Engine 22, SQ23, and E51) and first responders. Their rapid response saved us from a much worse outcome…

What happened next is a testament to the BSI crew. These guys are top notch!!! On the shoulder of I-95, it was all hands on deck as every piece of equipment and three race cars were unloaded on the highway. Cars were brought back, washed, and repaired (the #51). We completely emptied a second trailer and reloaded every single item from the GR rig into this one.

After rotating around the clock for 24 hours straight, we were back on the road! We’ve never missed a race, and we weren’t about to start now!

A massive shoutout to Nick, Matt, Noah, Jack, Mark, Shaw, JJ, Jeff, and Matt. You guys turned a crisis into a “pressure bonding” session LOL, grinding through the day, night, and morning.

We are officially back on the road to COTA. We’ll see you all at the track!

Red Bull, Roto-Rooter, grape juice for champagne, big kid kidding little kids, family, seagull killer, flipper slaps. Thank you for adding Olivia and I on the 500 helmet. This Daytona 500 will be one to remember for many. Good luck CZ & love ya. Always your friend, but forever your racing mom. 😂
