Insane NASCAR Crash At Daytona Ends With An Engine Nearly In The Grandstands (UPDATE: Fans Injured)
NASCAR

Today is the Nationwide Series' run at Daytona, the Drive4COPD 300. It's a pack racing affair. And like any pack race, there are big crashes. Including one on the final lap that put an engine nearly in the grandstand.

Coming to the checkered flag, leader Regan Smith in the 7 car got turned from behind. The rest of the field was bunched up right behind him.

The ensuing melee took out about a dozen cars. The car of 20-year old Kyle Larson, who is one of the stars of tomorrow, flew into the air and went into the catch fence. The entire front end of the car was ripped off, with the engine and front wheels landing right in front of the grandstands. Larson's car, sans engine, rolled to a stop on the infield. He climbed out, apparently uninjured.

Right now, there is no word on if any fans were injured in the wreck due to flying debris. All drivers in the crash are reportedly ok, the grandstands are the main concern. Our thoughts are with everyone at Daytona, fingers VERY crossed that everyone is ok.

Updates below, most recent updates first.

UPDATE 12: Six fans have serious injuries, taken to Halifax Medical Center as trauma patients.
