    #3 Unlucky at Daytona.....Again

    #3 was the number of the race car driven by Dale Earnhardt Sr. when he was killed in a wreck at Daytona Speedway. This week, #3 wrecked again, but the driver was lucky this time. He walked away from the big one. Race fans talk about the big one, meaning a serious wreck at major events. This is the big one for Daytona this week.



    Debris from a car that crashed into the catchfence at Daytona International Speedway sent a spectator to the hospital, officials said.

    The incident took place during the final lap early Monday morning of the rain-delayed Coke Zero 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

    When Austin Dillon's car was making a turn, it went flying into the catchfence, sending a massive cloud of debris in to the grandstand.

    Dillon's car landed on the tracks upside down and was struck by another. He however walked away.
    Dillon drives the No. 3 car -- the same as Dale Earnhardt Sr., who was killed in a wreck during the Daytona 500 in 2001.
