NASCAR VP Scott Miller says 'a lot of work going on' to solve the fire issue that seems to be affecting Fords the most.
“To say that NASCAR didn’t care is about as far from the truth as you could get,” Scott Miller, the organization’s senior vice-president of competition, said on a Tuesday morning.
Miller answered Harvick’s comments by saying NASCAR has been looking for the cause or causes of the fires.that officials don’t care that race cars are catching fire at a higher rate than usual. Two cars were fire-related DNFs last weekend at Darlington, two others burned at Indy in the summer road race, and another burned at Richmond in August.
“We’re certainly digging into the cause ... looking for any signs of anything that may have triggered that,” Miller said. “You know, we’ve done so all year. There’s a lot of rubber at Darlington … the ‘cheese grater’ that we always talked about. 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. We’ve been working on different solutions for different things that seem to maybe be the trigger.
