<\/p>\n

But on a New Year\u2019s Eve “Hangover Nationals” trip to Tucson, Arizona, everything changed in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

Thompson and wife were asleep when a phone call came at 1:30 a.m. \u2014 the call every racer fears.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a fire,\u201d his friend Greg told him, before the call dropped.<\/p>\n

Moments later, Thompson learned the truth. His stacker trailer was fully involved. By the time he arrived between Wikieup and Wickenburg, Arizona, the scene was already over.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I could see was that everything had melted to the ground,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cTwo dragsters. The Nova. Tools. Equipment. Years of work. Just\u2026 gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside the trailer were three race cars:
\n\u2022 A championship-winning Race Tech dragster that had delivered multiple Summit Bracket Series victories.<\/p>\n


\n\u2022 A nearly brand-new Race Tech Silver State car with only 30\u201340 passes.<\/p>\n


\n\u2022 And the 1967 Nova \u2014 a car filled with family history, memories, and milestone moments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter learned to race in that Nova,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cSixteen years old, Top Sportsman. That car meant everything to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nova had been sold once when the family shifted to dragsters \u2014 then later tracked down, repurchased, and completely rebuilt from the ground up. New engine, transmission, rear end, paint \u2014 every detail restored.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a great car. So many memories. A lot of good memories.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

THE FIRST THOUGHT: INSURANCE<\/h1>\n

As Thompson raced toward the scene, one thought kept repeating.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs my stuff insured?\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many racers, he admits insurance was something he once dreaded paying for. But that night, it became everything.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Thompson had recently moved his motorhome and racing equipment to Laris Motorsports Insurance.<\/p>\n

And that decision changed everything.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the same day, Laris was calling me,\u201d he said. \u201cNot the other way around. They were updating me. Walking me through the process. Sending checks.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, Thompson says he is still to this day waiting on a $3,500 claim from another insurance provider \u2014 while Laris was already handling a claim involving three race cars, a trailer, and a motorhome. Imagine if his motorhome, trailer and cars were not insured by Laris!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was night and day,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cI\u2019ve never experienced anything like that with an insurance company.\u201d<\/p>\n

He specifically praised claims handler Haley, support from Karrie Carr, and personal outreach from Ross and the Laris leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the owners of a company call you personally, that means something,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cThat tells you who they really are.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A MESSAGE TO RACERS<\/h2>\n

Thompson didn\u2019t hesitate when asked what he would tell racers who think this will never happen to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was me,\u201d he said. \u201cI thought it would never happen. And then it did.\u201d<\/p>\n

He now views insurance as part of racing itself \u2014 no different than fuel, tires, or entry fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t have insurance, you\u2019re on a ticking time bomb,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I would hate for anyone to lose everything they\u2019ve worked for and not be able to replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S NEXT<\/h2>\n

Despite the loss, Thompson isn\u2019t done racing.<\/p>\n

He still has additional dragsters in his stable and plans to continue bracket racing while building toward a completely new race program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not done,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

And through it all, he remains grateful.<\/p>\n

Grateful for the memories.
\nGrateful for the support.
\nAnd grateful that when the unthinkable happened, he wasn\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FINAL WORDS<\/h2>\n

\u201cI want racers to know this,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cWhen your tragedy comes to an end, you want to be with the right people. And Laris Motorsports proved they\u2019re second to none.\u201d<\/p>\n

DragCoverage spoke with Kari Carr who said: “When I got the call from Shane Thompson (well actually his daughter, Alexis called me first) then him, I was shocked. I could hear the heartbreak in their voices.”<\/p>\n

“I’m so happy we were able to assist him with such a difficult time. I’m so proud to work for a company that cares so much for their customers like Laris Motorsports does. Being a racers wife, daughter & never knowing any other life, it means so much that they value the racers & the support they give to this sport.”<\/p>\n
