No, I missed that one. And I am glad. I never knew that happened or heard anyone talk about a car going into the stands at the track in all the times I've been there. Thanks for that bit of info/history.
Fencing aside, the point I was trying to make is that certain grandstands impede access directly to the fence. Without a walkway in front, overall it would be safer. I-96 Speedway's main grandstand is configured in this manner.
Like we said earlier: You can only do so much. You cannot make it perfect.
