Two NASCAR Fans Injured by Flying Debris at Texas

Filed under: Sam Hornish Jr., NASCAR Fans, Sprint Cup, NASCAR

A brake pad came loose from a race car Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway and flew eight stories into the air before smashing through a window of the exclusive Speedway Club, injuring two fans.

The incident occurred just after the NASCAR Sprint Cup race ended. Speedway spokesman Mike Zizzo told the Associated Press that the injuries weren't life threatening.

Zizzo said he couldn't release any additional information on the injured fans because of federal privacy laws.

CBS 11 News in Dallas-Fort Worth reported that witnesses said a brake pad from the No. 77 Dodge driven by Sam Hornish Jr. flew off the car and smashed through the window. "Everyone thought it was a gunshot," eyewitness Linda Gregoire told the television station. "It scared the thunder out of us."

Maldonado boosted by Hispania test

Pastor Maldonado is convinced that his impressive Formula 1 test with HRT in Abu Dhabi was a big day in his career as he chases a Williams drive for 2011. The Venezuelan set a best time just under 1.3 seconds faster than Bruno Senna's qualifying lap for last weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, although the track conditions had improved significantly since then making a direct comparison difficult. He tests for Williams tomorrow as an evaluation for the race seat next year

Red Bull: Title will make Vettel better

World champion Sebastian Vettel will be a more relaxed - and better ? driver next year after clinching his maiden title in Abu Dhabi. That is the view of Red Bull's motorsport advisor Helmut Marko, who has stuck with the German through the good and bad times of his career, and stood on the podium with him after Sunday's race. "I think he will be more mature, more relaxed after this," Marko said about the impact of Vettel's title.
