From the video it does not look like the car got into the grandstands. It went through the top part of the fence off of turn 2 and landed in a gap between the stands that are in the middle of 1 and 2 and the stands on the backstretch. Fans and crew members stand in that area to watch. The car struck fans standing there. The report on Volusia's website states that one has been released, a second is stable, and a third is still critical. Fortunately the injured were being treated at Halifax in Daytona, a hospital well prepared to handle incidents involving race cars just like those in Indy.
