Barry Braun, the CEO and founder of the popular XR Series dirt racing events, has been arrested in Lake County, Minnesota, sparking concerns about the well-being of the racing community. While the exact charges against Braun are unclear, rumors of his arrest have been circulating on social media, fueled by allegations that his company, XR Events, failed to pay participating racers. A viral arrest record, which has not been independently verified by Hindustan Times, shows Braun, 49, was taken into custody by the Lake County Sheriff's Office. The warrant section of the record is marked 'Unspecified,' leaving the reasons for the arrest unclear. Braun, a well-known figure in dirt-track racing, has been at the helm of XR Events, a family-run business, which he founded with his wife Jennifer. The arrest comes amid controversy surrounding XR Events, including the cancellation of a recent event in Florida. In a statement, XR Events cited 'circumstances beyond our control' at the All-Tech Raceway as the reason for the cancellation. However, the racing community is speculating whether the cancellation was linked to Braun's rumored arrest. While XR Events has not commented on the allegations, the company's failure to pay participating racers has raised concerns about the financial stability of the organization. As the racing community continues to grapple with the implications of Braun's arrest, one thing is clear: the future of XR Events remains uncertain.
