Holy cow! This is terrible! I hope they are okay! But it is a really dangerous sport! I would never ever be a NASCAR driver. I would like to drive a car like theirs but no one can be on the track at the same time as me...

That would be so scary and terrifying!

30 spectators were injured! why wouldn't they have safety measures against that. I don't really watch Nascar because it's just a bunch of cars going around a track. If there were more crashes I'd probably watch it, and that's why I'm a bad person.

I am glad there was not as many people hurt as there could have been. This is one of the most dangerous sports to go watch, it is right up there with baseball. I hope that the injured get better.

It is crazy the number of fatal crashes isn't higher. every race there are a lot of wrecks and they always seem to get more serious.

My dad told me about this crash the day of the race and I watched a video of it from the stands. It was terrible! I couldn't Imagine what it would of been like to be at the race! I would of been scarred for life and I don't know if I would of ever been able to go back to the races.

As most know about the crash that claimed Dale Earnhardt's life we should be happy nobody was seriously injured. I also think he should know better than to get tense that close to the wall.

That is so sad and i hope all of those spectators are okay. I hope the drivers end up okay, and keep racing.
