8 Fans Injured at NASCAR Talladega After Car Hits Fence In Crash

Eight fans were treated for minor injuries when they were hit by debris at the end of Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 when Carl Edwards’ car went airborne and crashed into the fence.

Edwards’ car was launched above the wall and into the fence that separates the fans in the lower grandstand from the track in a wreck eerily reminiscent of Bobby Allison’s 1987 wreck here.

“We’re gong to airlift one patient who has some facial injuries and possibly a broken jaw,” said speedway medical director Bobby Lewis.

Lewis said most of the injuries were bumps, bruises and minor cuts.

Edwards said changes need to be made to make the racing safer. (via)
