Story of Stolen NASCAR Hauler Is As Weird As You'd Expect

Jennifer Jo Cobb currently races in NASCAR's Truck series for her own team, but will have trouble making Friday night's race in Charlotte. Cobb reported her truck hauler, carrying approximately $279,000 in equipment, stolen from her team's headquarters. On Wednesday, police arrested Mike Harmon, a fellow driver and owner in both the Truck and Nationwide series, and a former team manager for Cobb. After being released on bond, Harmon tweeted: "I did not take JJC hauler, there is no video of me anywhere near her shop. Today she was the windshield & I was the bug, but when we get in FEDERAL court in a couple wks there's a boulder coming" 

The problem? Cobb is currently in a lawsuit with another former business partner, David Novak, over who owns the equipment she's used the past three years. And according to said lawsuit, Cobb took the trailer from a warehouse that shares the same address as Harmon's shop. And back at Daytona, she reported a team van stolen from a parking lot, but it was repossessed by Novak who provided proof of ownership.
