Prosecutors have dropped a charge of possession of a stolen vehicle against NASCAR driver Jordan Anderson, who said Tuesday that he didn't know a race truck he bought was stolen and has relinquished the truck in question.
Anderson bought the truck from fabricator Robert Newling, according to the Rowan County (N.C.) Sheriff's Office, whose investigators eventually determined that Anderson had reason to believe that the truck was stolen. Newling, who did the repairs on the truck that was owned by Mike Harmon and crashed in a November 2017 race at Texas, was arrested for larceny of a motor vehicle.
