The NASCAR community was active and generous when donations were set up to aid Barbara-Ann and her family. Not only will the donation amount now come in handy for the funeral, but it will also help Meg’s brother, who has a disability. However, as they learned about the tragic news, the comments section started to buzz with prayer messages and condolences. “I’m so sorry my sincerest thoughts and prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏 may she rest in peace and may God give you all comfort and peace,” A user wrote.
Meanwhile, others extended their support to the Weatherman family with their messages, “Really sorry for your loss Kyle”. “Oh my gosh I am so sorry for your loss. We will be praying. 🙏”. Kyle Weatherman is running in his first full-time NASCAR Xfinity season since 2020. And despite missing the qualifying rounds at his last race at Darlington, he finished P17. Weatherman did have a sticker named “Barbara Brooks” on the back of his race car for the race, and it feels like the sticker will now find a permanent feature on the No. 91 car for the rest of the season.
