Video: Riley Herbst’s No. 98 Ford Up In Smoke Following Contender Boats 250

Riley Herbst placed his No. 98 Monster Energy Ford in the 12th position after a rather up and down day for the Las Vegas native in Homestead.

But the action wasn’t over for Driver 98 after the race as his car appeared to dispense a heavy amount of smoke following the Contender Boats 250.

It’s unclear what caused the issue of the front end to begin to smoke heavily.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
