NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase contender Matt Crafton's day took a turn for the worst in Saturday's Texas Roadhouse 200 at Martinsville Speedway.

Crafton was having a solid run when the left-rear wheel well caught fire on his No. 88 Thorsport Racing Toyota Tundra on Lap 148.

The team reported seals blew off the left-rear brake caliper resulting in the fire. Crafton made multiple pit stops for repairs and was only able to salvage a 17th-place result.
