NASCAR: Byron’s #24 transporter catches fire at Indianapolis

A Hendrick Motorsports transporter air conditioner unit caught fire outside Indianapolis Motor Speedway Thursday ahead of this weekend’s NASCAR/IndyCar event.

The transporter was carrying the car for William Byron, who drives the #24 Chevrolet Camaro in the Cup Series.

The car was unloaded by the team and appears to have not sustained any damage, other than being covered in soot.  Other teams helped in the rescue to put the fire out.

The William Byron hauler generator apparently caught on fire. Team has unloaded the car and it appears OK. pic.twitter.com/VLCfGZE1dh
