'Here we are in the pits with a burned up car and can't finish the race during the playoffs because of crappy-ass parts,' lamented NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick after quickly escaping his burning racecar at Darlington in the Southern500.
"I'm sure it's just the crappy parts on the race car, like we've seen so many times. We haven't fixed anything. It's kind of like the: We just let it keep going and keep going. And the car started burning, and as it burned, the flames started coming through the dash.
"And I ran a couple laps, and then, as the flame got bigger, then it started burning stuff up, and I think right there [referencing the replay], you see all the brake fluid that was probably coming out of the brakes. It burned the brake line, but the fire was coming through the dash.""What a disaster, man. No reason.
"I just stopped. The rocker was on fire for a couple laps. I just stopped because I couldn't see anymore because the flames were coming through the dash, and I couldn't make myself sit in there and burn up." Unable to finish the Southern 500, one of NASCAR's crown-jewel races, Harvick will surely be playing catch-up in the playoff standings going into the final two races of the Round of 16 before the postseason field shrinks to 12.
