His panicked father Dean Jones, who was wearing just shorts and a T-shirt, then leaped over a fence and managed to haul his son out of the window after he had spent close to 25 seconds stuck in the blaze.
While Jones escaped unscathed, his father was put on probation by Nascar for jumping the barrier.
