🗣️'We’re debriefing it all. It’s unacceptable for the cars to catch on fire.' After Kevin Harvick raged at 'crappy parts' that caused him to retire from the first playoff race at Darlington, NASCAR has responded that it is working to address the issue ⬇️
Harvick was forced to retire from the first race of the NASCAR Cup playoffs in Sunday night’s Southern 500 at DarlingtonThe 2014 Cup champion safely exited the vehicle, which quickly became engulfed by smoke and fire, and was classified a disappointing 33rd to leave him in danger of elimination from the playoffs' round of 16.
In an interview afterwards, Harvick blamed the issue on “crappy parts” on the Next Gen car and suggested that NASCAR wouldn't address the problem, stating that “they don’t care”. “I’m not going to get into any kind of back-and-forth contest with Kevin over the airwaves. I think he actually does know we do care.”
Harvick’s issue seemed unique in that his car had not been damaged and fire had come out of both sides of the car simultaneously.
