Wow what a wicked wreck!

Glad to see Larson get out so fast & be ok.

Was hoping Regan could win that race too.

I did hear ESPN say that injuries did occur in the grandstands

Yet again, a restrictor plate race ends with a wrecker during the checkered.

I missed that part.

Mike Helton I guess right now is saying there are people going to the carecenter & the hospital. No one is saying anything about the seriousness of the injuries, so that is concerning.

Let's say a prayer for those in the grandstands......I for one am very, very happy that Tony won that race. It is quite an accomplishment to tie Earnhardt Sr....Tony and all his fans should be proud of......WTG Tony.

Yeah, they only briefly mentioned it, saying they had no details, and then going back to driver interviews and didn't return to it.

It was jarring to see the motor sitting on the wrong side of the fence, burning like it was. I was surprised more security didn't get there faster. It looked like fans could go right up to the debris and the torn fence for the first ten minutes.

Ugh, coverage just ended, going to basketball, so we are going to have to watch ESPN's, NASCAR's and others' websites for more details.

Speed channel, this would be a perfect time to break into your taped Daytona practice to cover the wreck from your RaceHub studio.

When they pulled the motor from the fence, I didn't see a Carburetor on the motor

crap in one of the replays I saw a tire fly up into the grandstands. That is bad news!
even saw one part go up into the upper section of the grandstands

Ask and ye shall receive... They have a special report on now

Prayers for everyone in the grandstand. That was horrific. You can see debris land further up in the grandstands.

[Schmoopy1000]

they are saying 15 were injured & one in surgery that they know of right now

Credit where credit is due, nice job on their part, stepping up to cover this so quickly

I can't believe Kyle Larsen walked away from that......thank goodness for engineering and all the safety built in the Gen 6 car.

[Schmoopy1000]

6 admitted for trauma one critical but believe they said all are stable

I just got back from the race and that was a crazy one. Fortunately I was up high in sprint tower and only had a front row view of it all. I don't think NASCAR is letting much out. There was radiator fluid spewed everywhere and LOTS of debris came through that fence. It's hard to believe though how safe NASCAR has made these cars, b/c Kyle Larson was lucky to walk away from that one.
