This is just a reminder to pay attention when cars are on the track. Please watch out for your kids, yourself, and others. We just had a tire come off a sprint car and go up the hill off turn four at Bloomington into spectators. It looks like no one was hurt to speak of. Could have had very serious injuries. I don't want anyone to get hurt so keep you attention on the track and enjoy the races.

Scariest thing I think I've ever seen. By the time I realized what was happening, the tire was hurtling up the hill. It was one of those moments where you want to yell to get people's attention but you can't. It was truly a miracle that no one was hurt. That could've been a very tragic situation.

one of my grandkids was with in 50 feet of where it landed . Guess we got a lucky there . And it was my neighbors race car too . His car got hit in hot laps and cracked the center , it ripped the center out of it. Lucky the car didn't go end over end. What a great finish at bloomington last night . had all the drama you could ask for . Another great season at BLOOMINGTON SPEEDWAY .

Was it the #44 that got into the rear of the car in hot laps?
