Now that's a hot lap.
A Pennsylvania race car driver faced a scary situation in a recent race when flames engulfed his car - with him stuck inside.
Mike Stofflet was racing at the Mahoning Valley Speedway in Lehighton, Pa. Saturday, when his car flipped. Gasoline started to drip, drip, drip, pooling inside the car's frame.
Stofflet clawed, trying to escape.
No luck.
Workers came along and attempted to flip the car - and that's when the flames spread, leaving Stofflet sitting in a fire box. A video camera captured the tense, heated moments.
Somehow, Stofflet escaped serious injury - and then he went on to finish fifth in the 25-lap race.
Stofflet later uploaded the video to YouTube. He's learned a lesson from his ordeal.
"Thanks everyone for your concern I'm doing well just my neck is a little stiff," he wrote, "and no I was not wearing a head sock. Thinking about getting one never thought I would need it."
