DENTON COUNTY — A North Texas man recovering from injuries sustained at the Daytona International Speedway is expected to be released from a Florida hospital soon.
Krum resident Eddie Huckaby, 53, was attending Saturday's Nationwide series event when debris from a crash came flying over the track's fence into the stands.
Around 30 people were injured, and some were rushed to area hospitals.
Huckaby sustained a major cut to his leg, according to his brother Terry.
"You gotta realize a wheel — and I'm not talk about a tire, but an entire wheel with a drum and everything — flying over your head," Terry said.
The brothers were sitting about ten rows up in the stands.
NASCAR officials are reviewing what happened on Saturday. Speedway officials offered to relocate any fans attending Sunday's Daytona 500 race who had concerns about their seating arrangements.
