GALLERY: The Daytona 500

The Daytona 500 ran as scheduled Sunday after 28 spectators were injured when a race car broke apart on the track after a 13-car wreck sent debris flying into the stands at the Daytona International Speedway.

Some spectators have questioned if there are grounds to sue, arguing attendees assume responsibility knowing how dangerous car races can be, Fox noted. In fact, many fans who were sitting in the stands that got splashed with debris returned to their seats for the Sunday race.

According to Fox even event tickets contain a disclaimer in the back stating, "The holder of this ticket expressly assumes all risk incident to the event."
