Stephanie Rembert, the daughter of BK Racingcrew chief Joe Williams, was killed in “freak car crash” Saturday afternoon, team officials confirmed to NASCAR Talk Sunday. Williams is the crew chief for the No. 23 Sprint Cup Toyota driven by Jeb Burton. The crash reportedly occurred outside Asheboro, North Carolina in unincorporated Randolph County. Team officials could also get very little information from authorities, but did learn Rembert was in a vehicle with her two children, nine-year-old Jamie and six-year-old Frankie, when it was involved in a crash. Rembert was reportedly airlifted to a hospital in Winston-Salem, N.C., where she passed away. Her children were also transported to the hospital but suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to a team official. “Obviously, everyone is in shock,” team spokesman Kate Fegley told NASCAR Talk. “It’s so close to the holidays. They’re just overwhelmed with everything that’s happened. It’s a very difficult time but we’ve had overwhelming support from the NASCAR family and community.”(NBC Sports)(12-20-2015)
