A NASCAR racer was furious and blamed the ‘crappy ass parts’ after his Next Gen car caught fire in Sunday night’s Southern 500.
Kevin Harvick spent the early stages of the race at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway fighting back from a poor first pit stop to eventually climb his way back into the top 10 in Stage 3. However, his hopes quite literally went up in flames.
On lap 276, fire emerged out of both sides from beneath the underside of Harvick’s Ford, forcing him to bring it to a stop. He safely left the vehicle, which rapidly descended into the blaze.
