Major Fire on NASCAR No. 91 Chevrolet Camaro Engine Causes Chaos in Bristol
A major engine fire on Mason Maggio’s No. 91 Chevrolet Camaro caused quite a scene as smoke covered a big part of the Coliseum around the half-mile track in Bristol. Fuel was also spilled onto the track during the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race, which was then red-flagged.
Engine fires don’t often make a race car look like a fireball driving across the track, but in Maggio’s case, the flames engulfed a major part of the car as he came to a stop near the fire crews. Scary moment for @MasonMaggio1 as his car becomes engulfed in flames. pic.

His crew could be heard warning him on the radio, “Fire! Get out! You’re on fire.
Get out! Get out! Get out!
