Reaume Brothers Racing shop experiences structure fire

Reaume Brothers Racing announced a fire broke out at its Mooresville, North Carolina race shop on Thursday morning.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team said in a social media statement “a few” team members sustained injuries during the blaze and were transported for medical treatment.

“An investigation into the cause is ongoing,” the statement read. “We are in the process of determining the extent of the damages.”

Reaume Brothers Racing fielded entries for 21 drivers in the 2022 Truck Series season totaling 42 starts in the 23-race campaign. The team additionally worked to provide Team Hezeberg with its inaugural part-time endeavor in the NASCAR Cup Series.

According to the Mooresville Fire-Rescue Facebook page, the department was dispatched to the team’s location at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET to a reported commercial structure fire. The post states crews extinguished the flames quickly but the building itself sustained “significant fire damage.”

According to the page, three patients were treated for injuries.

“One patient was transported to Lake Norman Regional for smoke inhalation, the second patient was transported to Baptist Hospital for burn injuries and the third patient was treated and released,” the post states.

The Mooresville Fire Marshal’s office is currently investigating the cause of the fire, according to the page.

On Wednesday, RBR announced Mason Massey is slated to run the full Craftsman Truck Series season for the program, which also announced Wednesday it will field Ford F-150s in 2023.
