CONCORD, N.C. — Charlotte Motor Speedway said 10 fans were injured Sunday at the Coca-Cola 600 and three of them were taken to the hospital after a nylon rope supporting a Fox Sports overhead television camera fell from the grandstands and landed on the track surface.
According to CMS spokeswoman Danielle Frye the three people taken to the hospital had "minor injuries that are not life threatening."
CMS said in a statement earlier that seven people were treated with "minor cuts and scrapes" on site and released.
Fox Sports announcer Chris Myers apologized to fans and drivers on air on behalf of the network during the race.
