Ball of fire heats up XFINITY action more than expected

It's deja vu all over again in NASCAR.

Remember back to 2012 when Juan Pablo Montoya clobbered the jet dryer in the Daytona 500? It was a highlight reel moment for years to come.

Well, during Saturday's NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Pocono Raceway, there was another dramatic moment with a flaming truck on a track.

This time, fortunately, there didn't appear to be a collision and the incident wasn't as gut-wrenching as Montoya's was, but it was real, for sure.

As one of the track service pickup trucks pulled up on the racing surface, a ball of flame erupted behind it.

The good news is the truck was able to pull away and the fire was extinguished quickly, but for a brief moment it was exciting -- more so, probably, than the truck driver wanted.
