Langenstein and the #7 team were all ready to go back racing on Tuesday night
7-16 after having to miss three races due to a broken wrist under advice of his
doctor's.Then on Sunday Morning 7-14-13 when Austin and his father Charlie went
to the Cray Motorsports head quarters to put the finishing touches on the #7
ride and to load the hauler, for the upcoming Rd.7 Summer Shootout race Tuesday
night and open practice on Monday night they discovered that the unthinkable had
happened the team's trailer had been struck by lightening and caught fire after
severe storms over Saturday night destroying everything inside it and the
trailer itself. Item's inside the trailer included 3 fully loaded tool boxes
with tools, jacks,all of Austin's nomex race equipment, Hans
device,radio's,helmet visor's, Bolts, Nuts, and a brand new set of tires and
wheels to name a few of the key item's that were burned up.Austin said after the
fire- ''Man the bad luck continues, I was all ready to go racing again this week
and then this happened, I am thankful no one was hurt and that my race car was
in the shop. We are also lucky the flames didn't spread to the race shop which
the trailer was parked right next to.'' Austin and the team will have to miss
this week's racing action due to losing 90% of the teams key equipment, spare
parts and trailer, but they have plans to borrow and buy new item's to be back
on track next week 7-23-13.Austin also said ''I can't thank all my fans,
sponsors, and supporters enough for standing behind me through this rough patch
and the messages but we will be back stronger than ever,This team dosen't give
up!Thanks again to all my sponsors- Cray Motorsports, Progenex, The
