TALLADEGA, Ala — Jordan Anderson’s No. 3 Chevrolet caught fire on Lap 18 of Saturday’s Chevrolet Silverado 250. Andreson, 31, was in the middle of the pack before having to back out as his truck engulfed in flames. As he was trying to slow, Anderson smacked the inside wall at Turn 2 exit.

It appeared that he was already unbuckled at the time because once his truck came to a quick rest, he quickly climbed out and escaped.
