“I’m OK,” he told Fox Sports afterward. “It had a lot of smoke. No indication of what happened and then all of a sudden it was on fire.… We had a pretty good car, at least I thought, riding right there, waiting for everybody to sort it out. It just sucks.”

“I can’t believe it, our car was just good at the end when it mattered, I was so loose all day,” Truex said, via NASCAR.com. “Shout out to Carson, what an amazing run for what, his second race. I felt a little bad running him up the hill, but you’ve got to take these things when you can.

“I think I held my breath the last two laps. Love these fans. Love this track.”

He is the younger brother of NASCAR Cup Series star Martin Truex Jr.
