Marty Smith just said on Twitter that the cops told him he had to leave the grandstand or he'd be thrown in jail.

Looks like there's more concern to the left, but at least we can see that things aren't too bad where it came to rest.

Let's be glad this wasn't the 500 and the stands weren't packed. If they were, this could've been much worse.

Unpleasant stuff, this. Not a big fan of all the expert internet journalists that pop up in these sort of situations though. Going to wait for official news before jumping to conclusions.

Quote:
At least six fans sustained injuries when parts of Kyle Larson's car flew into the stands at the conclusion of Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway.
A track worker told Yahoo! Sports that one woman had a tourniquet on her leg, others suffered burns and a tire landed on one fan when a multiple-car accident unfolded as drivers raced for the finish line in the final lap of the Drive4COPD 300.
Tony Stewart missed the pileup and won the race as Larson's car was propelled into the catchfence separating the track from the grandstands on the Daytona International Speedway trioval.
The crash was triggered when leader Regan Smith was turned via contact from Brad Keselowski, who was pushing him. Much like many crashes that have happened in the front of the field at Daytona, the wreck was unavoidable for many behind and Larson's car was catapulted into the catchfence after he was tagged from behind. The impact with the catchfence sheared the entire front off of Larson's car and his engine and a tire ended up lodged in the catchfence with the other tire nine rows up in the grandstands. When Larson's car came to rest in the infield, the entire section of the car in front of the cockpit was missing.
After the crash, spectators were being treated in the grandstands for injuries from debris from the crash. We will update the post when more information becomes available. Larson was evaluated and released from the infield care center after he climbed from his car. Following the race, NASCAR President Mike Helton joined ESPN in the booth.
"I think to see and explain what we know right now is there obviously was some intrusion into the fence, and fortunately with the way the event's equipped up, there was plenty of emergency workers ready to go. They all jumped in on it pretty quickly," Helton said.
"Right now it's a function of trying to determine of what all damage is done. They're moving folks as we've seen to care centers and taking some folks over to Halifax Medical Center. We'll be able to update you later on, but all we know is everybody is working hard on what all happened.
To get in position to win, Stewart made an aggressive move on the backstretch on the final lap to move from the inside lane to the outside with Sam Hornish pushing him and the two made up ground on Smith and Keselowski in turns 3 and 4. As Smith's car spun around, Stewart darted to the inside and avoided both drivers to take the win.
Earlier in the race, another multi-car accident erupted. It involved Michael Annett, who was taken to an area hospital. He was awake, alert and undergoing tests, according to NASCAR.

And one was bleeding on her face, could've been hit by shrapnel.

They are all saying that the tyre made it all the way up to the top of the grandstands. But as you can see in the replay it didn't get that far into the grandstand and you can even see the windows from where behind that twitpic was made. So far it does seem that at least the fans down near the wreck got away relatively well, seeing the aftermath pictures. The guy they are working on there's another picture where I think you can see them taking him away and he seems awake. Hopefully everyone will be okay.

Update from Daytona: Grandstands now cleared of injured people. Five fans were removed on backboards that I saw, maybe more.

Can anyone confirm where Larson hit was where the fly-by cameras are placed, or is it just an access ramp entrance?
