Following his victory at Richmond Raceway, Carson Hocevar did a gnarly burnout on the frontstretch, lighting the left-rear quarter panel of his Niece Motorsports entry – and the frontstretch – on fire.

Following his victory in Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Richmond Raceway, Carson Hocevar did a gnarly burnout on the frontstretch to celebrate his third victory of the 2023 season.

However, things may have gotten a bit more intense than anticipated, as the left-rear quarter panel of the No. 42 ignited and burst into flames, which also caused the frontstretch of the three-quarter-mile track to catch fire, as well.

While Hocevar was being interviewed by Josh Sims, the track crew was attempting to put out the flames that the No. 42 had created and ensured that the entire truck wasn’t turning into a ball of flames.
