Harvick Sounds Off on NASCAR’s Next Gen Car After Darlington Fire

Kevin Harvick did not hold back in criticizing the Next Gen car on Sunday after his vehicle went up in flames at Darlington.

The Stewart-Haas Racing driver spent most of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway making up time from a poor first pit stop, and by Stage 3, he clawed his way into the top 10.

That is until fire erupted from the underside of his No. 4 Ford. Two laps before he managed to park his car, Harvick revealed that flames started coming through his dash, progressively getting worse. He climbed out of the vehicle and it became engulfed in smoke and fire soon after he left the window.
