NASCAR fans were injured today when large chunks of
debris, including a tire, sailed into the grandstands when a car flew into the
fence on a frightening last-lap accident in the second-tier Nationwide Series
race at Daytona International Speedway.
As emergency workers tended to injured
fans and ambulance sirens wailed in the background, a somber Tony Stewart
skipped the traditional post-race victory celebration. The Orlando Sentinel reports that at least 15 fans were
injured, four were fastened to backboards, and six were described as seriously
injured.
The
crash began as the field closed in on the finish line and sent rookie Kyle
Larson's car sailing into the fence that separates the track from the seats.
Large chunks of Larson's car landed in the grandstands.
