(CNN) -- Debris flew into the stands, injuring a number of spectators
-- at least two of them critically -- during a jaw-dropping crash
Saturday in the final turn of a NASCAR race at Daytona International

The multicar crash occurred near the end of the Nationwide Series
Drive4COPD 300 race at the same Florida track where Sunday's Daytona
500 will be held.
The race had recently restarted after another wreck, after which driver
