Statement From Victor Obaika, owner of No. 97 XFINITY Series car:


Victor Obaika:

“I don’t know whether to say its serendipity, especially because this has just happened a few weeks ago, so everybody should be sensitive about it. Unfortunately, it did happened and we definitely take it very seriously. We will be unfortunately also having to take some internal introspection to ensure it does not happen again and more than that just to ensure that we can show that we take it seriously, more than just words.

"We have spoken to Carl (Long) and we’ve offered him whatever we can. (Our) backup car, our people, whatever he needs, you know because it’s unfortunate, but we have to show some responsibility on our part and we’ve done that and we’ll help however we can. In terms of our weekend, we need to finish the race, but there will be some hard words at the end of the day, because the fact that it’s happened can’t be overlooked or wished away. It happened.”
