Dario awake and alert on the way to the hospital by ambulance (not helicopter - good sign).

This is a big chunk of the catch fence and concrete close to the crowd.

Looks like a fire outside the track at Kansas Speedway. Bringing out a caution due to visibility.

At least fifteen in the stands injured.

Kind of a sick feeling right now. I may need to walk away from this thread for a while.

“Dario awake and alert on the way to the hospital by ambulance (not helicopter - good sign).”

The medical center is just up the street from the race, quicker trip by ambulance than helicopter
