A race car came close to hitting a crowd after jumping the guardrail at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Saturday, April 28.
This video shows the car veering off the track and over an exterior barrier.
In a statement to local station WFMY News 2, stadium officials said the accident posed no threat to the safety of the audience.
“What occurred on Saturday wasn’t a danger to fans but was instead our safety systems working as intended to ensure that fans were kept safe – just like they have been for 70 years at Bowman Gray Stadium,” it said. Credit: Erika Norris Church via Storyful
