I was watching it on Speedshift and was able to use the time bar at the bottom to replay it a couple of times. The irony in the incident was that even though the track's fence wasn't nearly up to the job of stopping a flying sprint car, the small fence/railing on that end of the grandstand held up and prevented the sprinter from going completely into the stands. It could have been a real disaster. Especially for that one individual that took some impact, before the recoil of that fence helped send the race car back over the side. And if that person had been sitting just a row lower, they would have taken an even harder hit. It just goes to show you what can happen if things go wrong at one of these race tracks and how you have to be aware at all times. Hopefully those injured are on their way to a full recovery.
