Two spectators have suffered minor injuries at the Supercars meet in Newcastle after being hit by debris from a V8 ute crash.
Two utes in the Supercars support category collided during qualifying on Saturday morning, causing tyre debris to fly over the fence, injuring a man and a woman.
The pair were taken to the trackside medical centre where they were treated for minor ankle and knee injuries.
Supercars confirmed the incident in a statement, saying emergency response teams were on the scene within minutes.
"Incidents of this nature are extremely rare," the statement said.
