XR Events promoter and owner Barry Braun was arrested in his home state of Minnesota.

The current jail roster for the Lake County Jail in Lake County, Minnesota notes that Braun was arrested by the Lake County’s Sheriff’s Office on an unspecified warrant and was currently being housed at the Lake County Sheriff’s office.

It is unclear what Braun was arrested for.

Of note, a previously scheduled $100,000 to-win Crown Vic XR event was canceled at All-Tech Raceway. The track’s owner Wendell Durrance announced on Facebook, ““Due to circumstances beyond our control at All-Tech Raceway, the $100K to win XR event for the Crown Vics will not take place as previously scheduled. Any refunds for entry fees will have to be handled through XR. This was not an All-Tech Raceway event, nor did we accept any entry fees. We were to lease our facility to XR for this event.”

The event’s cancellation came after All-Tech Raceway’s Race Control Paul Clayton issued an apology after XR failed to pay drivers for a $100,000 to-win XR Woombah! front-wheel-drive race at Kokomo Speedway earlier this year. He wrote on Facebook, “I just want to say I’m sorry to everyone in the front-wheel-drive community who trusted and supported the $100,000 XR event earlier this year. I was proud to be part of something that was supposed to be a huge step for our side of racing, but as most of you know, four of the top five still haven’t been paid — first, second, third, and fifth.”

“I wasn’t involved in payouts or the money side of it, but I know a lot of folks showed up and believed in it partly because I was involved. That means something to me, and it doesn’t sit right knowing people are sitting there waiting on money they rightfully earned,” he added. “I can’t fix it, but I can own my piece of it and say I’m sorry to the racers who put their time, money, and trust into that weekend. You all deserved better.”
