Kevin Harvick's car fire on Sunday night is the latest of what's becoming a scary trend.
By finishing fourth in the 500, Logano took the lead by six points in the Playoff standings. He was pleased by that, but is seriously concerned about the spate of in-cockpit fires in recent months, especially Harvick’s. “Absolutely, I worry about it for two reasons,” he said. “One, it took a lot of points away from Kevin and he’s racing for a championship. It’s stuff that’s out of his control and out of his team’s control. That’s concerning.
“The second thing that’s concerning is that his car’s on fire. Maybe that’s the first thing that should be concerning is that cars are still catching on fire. We’ve got to fix that.” As usual – and quite understandably – Harvick didn’t hold back. “I’m sure it’s just crappy parts on the race car like we’ve seen so many times,” he said after finishing 33rd, next-to-last among the 16 championship hopefuls. “They haven’t fixed anything. It’s kind of like the safety stuff. We just let it keep going and keep going.
“My car started burning, and as it burned the flames started coming through the dash. I ran a couple laps and then as the flame got bigger it started burning stuff up and I think right there you see all the brake fluid that was probably coming out the brakes and part of the brake line, but the fire was coming through the dash. The rocker was on fire for a couple laps. I just stopped because I couldn’t see anymore. I couldn’t make myself sit in there and burn up.
