A NASCAR official on Tuesday said it was “unacceptable” for the NextGen cars to catch on fire, but took issue with Kevin Harvick’s claim that the sanctioning body “don’t care.”
On Lap 276 of 367 in Sunday night’s Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, fire erupted first out of the right side of Harvick’s No. 4 Ford and then the left, which forced him to bring the car to a stop at the bottom of Turn 1.
“Nobody wants to see this happening. I know that was an emotional time and his race was ruined but to say that NASCAR didn’t care is about as far from the truth as you could get,” Miller said. “That’s really all I have to say about that. “We’re not certain if rubber getting into the rocker box was the problem or not. We’re debriefing it all. It’s unacceptable for the cars to catch on fire.”
