        WOW I missed that part.

        I guess with all the modern protection nascar has introduced we just only think about the drivers not the race fans.

        I can't remember what video I saw, but it was way back in the 1930s from youtube I think.../?? and a whole car when up in the stands taking out a bunch of people.

        That modern fence held back a car completely in the air going 150 mph...amazing but still freekie.

          It's amazing more people weren't injured.

          Nascar needs to figure something out with these restrictor plate races.

            Absolutely. When you consider some of the disastrous in open wheel racing, NASCAR has been lucky, nothing more. The U.S. 500 at Michigan Speedway in 1998, when a wreck threw a tire and other car parts into the grandstand, killing three spectators and injuring six others. Or at Charlotte during the 1999 VisionAire 500 IRL race, in which 3 people were killed and 8 more were injured when debris passed over a (then) 15-foot fence into the grandstands. Yet the worst was Le Mans in 1955, where over 80 people were killed, leading to Mercedes withdrawing from racing for decades.

            Nascar needs to figure something out with these restrictor plate races.
            Simple: Get rid of the plates, then park drivers who insist on blocking and mirror driving at 200 mph. It's obvious that the speed of the cars isn't the issue, it's the cars being forced to run in packs or bone-headed driving that causes the wrecks.
