BIG crash at Daytona Race
Crash at checkered flag sends one the cars into the upper fence, with part of the front half of the car into the fan zone. Worrisome looking accident, hope everyone is OK. All this was during Nationwide race today.

Praying the fans are OK, the whole front clip including engine went threw the catch fence.
Always worry's me when they don't show a replay, drivers all good I believe.

I just tried to find it on youtube. There was 1 posted an hour ago. NASCAR already has it blocked. This doesn't sound good.

Major NASCAR Crash At Daytona Sends Engine Flying Into The Stands - Business Insider
Here it is, dayum Looks to me like the guy in second (who couldn't pass the leader) caused that one.

That video isn't gonna last, Neil. NASCAR already blocked one of those privately posted ones from Rick's thread above. Bad publicity to actually see fans injured.
But it was appropriate and classy that Tony Stewart was more concerned about the welfare of the racers and spectators than he was in celebrating his win in Victory Lane.

I wonder if the guy hit in the face with the tire gets to keep it as a souvenir?

You know, I didn't check the video before I posted. I hope everyone makes it through OK, It looked pretty bad for the fans in the stands.

That's bad. I have a feeling the guy on the tripod camera right behind the fence didn't make it.
