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.
