Found out about this on Facebook. Someone posted a video from a guy in the stands right where the crash happened. It shows a tire that flew over the fence and landed just a couple seats away from the guy filming, looks like it injured someone right by the guy filming on his phone. Pretty crazy.

Seems like the cars ripped through the fence right where a camera man was. Hope he made it out alright.
I've always wondered what would happen if some cars flew up on the fence.. Now I know. I figured the fence would SOMETIMES keep the crash contained but you never know with the speeds these cars are going and hitting that fence. Even if the fence holds up, the debris could still get through causing some bad injuries.
