At least 30 fans were injured when a car
sailed into the fence at Daytona
International Speedway, and large chunks of
debris - including a tyre - flew into the
grandstands.
The accident occurred as the field closed in
on the finish line, and rookie Kyle Larson's
car came upon the crash and went airborne
into the fence that separates the track from
the seats.
Large chunks of Larson's car landed in the
stands, and one of his tyres appeared to
land midway up the lower section of the
seating. The car itself had its entire front
end sheared off, with the burning engine
wedged through a gaping hole in the fence.
Speedway president Joie Chitwood said 14
fans were treated on site, and 14 others
were taken to hospitals.
