This is the shocking moment a NASCAR fan loses control and crashes his Mustang during a spectator race.
The motorist was one of nine drivers taking part in the fan event in New Smyrna Speedway, Florida.
On what appeared to be the last lap, the Shelby driver lost control on the last turn of the oval and spun before crashing backwards into a wall.
