Nascar Crash

Saturday night, February 23rd, during the infamous Daytona 500 race, fans were actually injured due to a crash on the course. Due to the extremely high speeds that the race cars typically go during the biggest and most important competitions, sometimes there are crashes or hits because of lack of control. In the last lap of the race, one rookie, Kyle Larson's car was sent into the fence due to such speed and because of the heat from the engine in the front, the car burnt a whole in the once safe fence. This led to the explosion of many different parts from the car including debris, tires, and random pieces from a once together vehicle. At least 33 were injured due to the crash, not including the actual driver. Fortunately, due to the fact that driving cars at speeds topping 100 miles per hour is not typically a safe sport, there were many paramedics and emergency experts on the scene ready to help.
