Justin RouthFeb 24, 2013 You might be on to something! Two fences would stop a car while increasing visibility!
Chris HuffFeb 24, 2013 Usually tires engines and cooling systems dont fly through fences
Keir Andre NelsonFeb 24, 2013 It's not every day you have engine blocks flying at you from a crash. People must understand that a lot of safety innovations have come from previous accidents or mistakes.
Kyle MalcomsonFeb 24, 2013 Hope the spectators all make it through ok
Jesse JalapenoFeb 24, 2013 Lol @ Wyatt & I don't think another fence will stop an engine block.. Just saying
Andrew SpadFeb 24, 2013 I believe it vas 28 injured fans
Phil JohnsonFeb 24, 2013 Because two chain link fences will definitely stop an engine block...
David ParentiFeb 24, 2013 Just having a fence is a large improvement from the ways of the past.
William DownsFeb 24, 2013 NASCAR takes safety extremely serious and things like this can't be avoided, shit happens u can't plan for everything and to date nothing has gone threw the new fence system till now.. And NASCAR will take the car and fence parts and figure out how to improve it.. Cost is not a concern for nascar
Will WillFeb 24, 2013 Money? And it's not that it will cost a million dollars to equip a grandstand with better safety equipment, maybe a hundred thousand or two, and with the number of spectators attending such events the additional cost will be quickly earned back.
Will WillFeb 24, 2013 Its so easy to prevent people from getting injured from such accidents. Why cant they have higher fences, stronger fences or even double fences ( a fence after a fence)? Is cost the reason why? If so, are the lives of spectators less important than
Blake AntilFeb 24, 2013 How was Mary injured?
A TIRE hit her in the FACE!
Wyatt GordonFeb 24, 2013 Dammit, who turned right?
Jake JudgesFeb 24, 2013 It's 28 fans carbuzz and 2 were hit by the engine and are critical
David ParentiFeb 24, 2013 I thought it was 28 fans. 14 seriously injured and sent to nearby hospitals. 14 fans treated at the tracks infield.
William DownsFeb 25, 2013 Not to mention a good chunk of those injured have already spoken out saying no big deal... As Colby said, its a Motorsport and anything can happen... NASCAR fans know when they go to a race that shit like this is a possibility. No one died and because of this accident NASCAR will examine it and improve the system at every track making the sport safer..
Colby ChurchFeb 25, 2013 @Kyle Shit happens dumbass. It's a risk you take when going to a race. Just because people were injured doesn't mean it wasn't a great crash to watch. Crashes are spectacles in racing, that's why we watch them over and over in replays. Shitface.

Jesse JalapenoFeb 24, 2013 What's the name if it?? I wanna watch it
Michael RileyFeb 24, 2013 Anyone seen the video of the crowd view yet? Saw it yesterday, tire landed maybe 3 feet from the camera holder.
Geoff NovakFeb 24, 2013 That sucked. Hooe everyone is gonna b ok.
Aaron CrispFeb 24, 2013 Saw this on ESPN this morning, even if you're a NASCAR fan you have to watch this... Crazy, crazy accident.

Ian BargerFeb 24, 2013 Wow that was a crazy crash.
William DownsFeb 24, 2013 No he went to the winners circle and talked but he was all chocked up and didn't even care that he won, he just kept talking about the fans, very respectful man
Aaron CrispFeb 24, 2013 Yeah he didn't comment or go to winners circle or anything. Cool dude. Very respectful.
Justin JohnsonFeb 24, 2013 As much as he is a jerk, he's the best "racer" on that field. A true driver.
Dale SchroederFeb 25, 2013 What got me is that the hood tether still held. If that had gone up in the stands too it could have gotten even worse than it already was.
Accidents happen.
