Clark Houston’s win at Hickory overshadowed by incident involving Landon Huffman and Annabeth Barnes-Crum

Clark Houston won Saturday’s Late Model Stock race at Hickory Motor Speedway but his win has been dwarfed by an incident involving Landon Huffman and Annabeth Barnes-Crum.

Huffman and Barnes-Crum were racing for third at the track with three laps to go with contact sending Huffman into the wall. He would catch back up to Barnes-Crum and nudge her up the track. Barnes-Crum’s car then takes a sharp left and spins in front of a pack of cars.

Under the ensuing caution, Barnes-Crum drove up to Huffman’s car and ran into his right rear. Both cars were heavily damaged.

The race was stopped for an hour after an incident also took place in the spotters stand between Barnes-Crum’s husband, former Xfinity and Truck Series driver Jake Crum, and Huffman’s father, Robert Huffman.

Huffman provided an update on his father Sunday morning saying that he was doing ok but had suffered a broken nose and had an issue with his eye.

Dad is okay this morning.

He has a broke nose and his eye is beat up.

After he got blind sided, it knocked him to the ground and Crum started stomping him before Dad could get Jake down & in a head lock.

Dad was talking to me on the radio and got clotheslined from behind.

A video has since been posted to social media which shows the attack.

Crum and Barnes-Crum were suspended by the CARS Tour in 2017 after they attacked a competitor following the CARS Tour’s AutosbyNelson.com 250 at South Boston Speedway.
