Let’s see: there’s a pickup truck, NASCAR, and some genuine down-home sadness in Kentucky. Work something in about Jesus, Mama or gettin’ drunk in there and you’ve got a number one country hit. Eat it, Florida-Georgia Line!

A big black cloud hung over this weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway as a truck turned into a blazing inferno in the parking lot. The truck had a grill that was probably used for tailgating strapped into its bed.

One man was inside the truck as it caught fire but was pulled to safety by first responders, reports . The man was not seriously injured in the blaze, however, the fire damaged two vehicles next to it and sent a big, nasty cloud of smoke into the track itself.

Sometimes you just have to marvel at the wonders of the world and revel in its poetic beauty. In other words, I couldn’t make better fodder for a country song if I tried. Someone, somewhere is very sad about a truck.

Mainstream country is too busy writing the to end up in prison nowadays, and trains are a tad passé, so the formula outlined in the is a tad out of date. Still, you’ve got the big party atmosphere of a NASCAR weekend in Kentucky, trucks ‘n’ woe. Get on that, Nashville.
