The TV network, SPEED, is hosting the coverage of the first Nationwide Series NASCAR race at Daytona this weekend.

A serious crash in the last lap sent an engine and right front suspension components and a tire hurtling through the catch fence—some parts 70 feet up into the grandstand.

Eleven fans were taken to Halifax Medical Center, the official NASCAR treatment center, with various injuries, one critical, and are reported to be stable at this moment.

Another four were taken to a different hospital in central Florida, and that could mean they were in more serious condition. They are not releasing info on them yet.[ One Person did die]

The fact that Kyle Larson’s car had it’s entire nose sheered off is testimony to the incredible engineering of these vehicles where safety is concerned. To see the crash and watch him immediately put the window net down and hop out of the cockpit like he just parked in his driveway is almost unbelievable.

We send love and positive intent to the injured fans, their friends and families.

The track workers are already repairing the catch fence in preparation for the big cup race tomorrow.
