Overview
- Evanna Howell, a senior account manager for 23XI Racing, was arrested and charged after police say she struck a 77-year-old man with a golf cart at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 23.
- Cabarrus County records say the victim suffered a severe laceration and Howell was released on a $125,000 bond with a next court date set for June 16.
- NASCAR placed Howell on an indefinite suspension under Section 4.4A of its rulebook and disclosed the action in its post-race penalty report after the Coca-Cola 600.
- Howell is listed on LinkedIn as a 23XI Racing employee since 2021 and the team has not issued a public statement about the charge as of the latest reports.
- Reporting so far relies on police and court records and contains few witness accounts, leaving the allegation unresolved and raising reputational and operational questions for 23XI Racing as the legal process proceeds.
