Mayhem at Daytona

NASCAR Fans Injured At Daytona By Debris From Crash : NPR

It was a rowdy finish to the Nationwide race featuring a late caution and then a red flag caution resulting in a green-white-checker finish.  With the cars all bunched up and being power challenged by the restrictor plates it was almost inevitable that it would happen.  When the two in the lead made contact and went up the bank Tony Stewart and the following car ran through for the win.  The remaining cars that could not stop plowed into the two already wrecking.  In this photo you see the red car under the 32 and that is what got it airborne.  Most of the front end was already dangling and ripped a hole in the catch fence and tossed a tire and other debris into the stands.  It left the engine block sitting on the wall. It seems probable that the carnage will continue tomorrow since this will be the debut race for the Gen 6 car.  Stay tuned.
