Jordan Anderson was airlifted to a local hospital in Birmingham, Alabama after his truck caught fire during the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, FOX Sports reported.
He was running in the top 10 when the fire occurred. He tried to get it slowed down and off the racing surface. His truck hit the inside wall as he was getting out, and the safety crews tended to him.
Anderson was then taken to the infield care center. A team member, crew chief Artie Haire, told FOX Sports that he has some burns and was in a lot of pain. Haire will go to the hospital to be with Anderson.
