C5-R Burned?
Anyone see the race? Apparently a minor bump, but the fuel cell was hit, driver got out but car burned to the ground. So sad, and on a great season of leading their class - standard.

Recently ?
I was flipping past the SPEED channel the other night and saw D. Ernhardt Jr., and a clip of his C5R burning. Apparently this crash wasn't recent as his burns had healed (its scary as Hell as entire interior in flames), but he crawled out.

?!? Are you talking about last year in California when Dale Jr looped the car in warmups and knocked the fuel filler neck off?
That's the only C5R I've seen on fire.

I think that last years Infineon Race is what he is referring to.
