“My brother and his girlfriend Carrie Battalio woke up Saturday morning to the garage {race shop} on fire,” Edward Conley Jr stated via social media.
“By the time the fire department could respond the garage had burned to the ground, destroying everything inside and damaging the back of their house as seen in the pic below. The garage was the home of Corey Conley Racing and their business: Twisted Tool Performance.”
“The race car, side by sides, and all his tools and equipment are total losses. Their friends have setup a gofundme to begin helping them rebuild. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!”
