FLORENCE, S.C. — A race car driver out of Hickory is asking for help after someone stole his racing equipment over the weekend.
Allen Huffman shared pictures of his 2005 Chevy Silverado and 28-foot race trailer stolen from the Home2 Suites in Florence, South Carolina.
“It took me 14 years to get the equipment and everything we needed to go racing,” Huffman said. “There’s no way. There’s no way I can rebuild from that.”
Huffman said he had just raced at the Florence Motor Speedway on Nov. 23 when someone stole the trailer and truck from the hotel.
The thieves got away with $200,000 in racing equipment. The name of Huffman’s Christian ministry, NCN, is on much of the
Huffman said he travels across the country in the truck to go to youth conferences and camps for children.
He has prayed for the people involved in stealing his truck.
“Maybe there is something to this -- is the change that they need to realize that there is a better way,” he said. “That there is a God that loves them, and cares about them.”
He later announced that he is offering a $5,000 reward.
