On January 27, 2020, Venturini Motorsports accused that former employees, Frank Kimmel and Griffin Rider, both who were now employees at KBR Development, had stolen information from the team. Venturini Motorsports had said that in security camera footage, Rider had carried the crew chief's computer into an unknown hauler, had spent approximately 11 minutes with the computer, and returned it, with Rider allegedly stealing information with a USB flash drive. In addition, Venturini Motorsports testified that Kimmel took pictures of Venturini Motorsports' cars.[8]
