During the 97th lap of the Coca-Cola 400, Clint Bowyer crashed into the wall and had his car go up in flames causing a caution on the track.

It was a scary scene as Boyer’s No. 14 car was engulfed in fire.

As scary as it looked, the good news was that Bowyer walked away from the crash and appeared to be okay.

Big hit for @ClintBowyer. In the wall HARD and was on fire a little.

"That's us, guys. Keep it up there." – @SpotterBrett

"Let me know when I can get out," Bowyer said dejectedly.

After winning the opening two stages on Wednesday, his night is over. Was running in 11th.
