The woman, who has not been named, was reportedly eating at a table at the Firebird International Raceway in Arizona when the crash happened.
The collision flung the left rear wheel from competitor Anton Brown's dragster into the path of the woman.
She was immediately flown to a nearby hospital but died a short time later.
Fellow spectators said they were shocked by accident in the confusion that followed.
"One of the tyres came off the dragster, hit the guard rail and just took off into the stands," one fan told Fox News.
Brown was not seriously hurt in the crash but later appeared visibly shaken.
"I was upside down, and in my mind, things were going crazy,” he told SPEEDTV.com
"The next thing I knew, I hit the wall ... I saw a little burst of flame come around my head, and I saw sparks."
Competition organisers allowed the event to continue after the crash but later released a statement saying they were “deeply saddened” by the death.
Original location of story
Kind of reminds me of that Dane Cook joke "tyre in the face"...
Did you see that clip they were like showing the other day on uh ESPN
or whatever. They were showing like the best crazy accidents or something.
It was like the best of the worst car you know like.
They showed this one clip man . If you saw this this was nuts.
The two cars go around the corner and they like catch each other
they start to roll. The tyre flys into the stands and hit's a woman in the face!
And when you first saw it you were like "OOOOOO!
That tire just hit that woman in the in the face!
Oh good they're showin' it again Look Look Look Look at this right here.
Slow it down..yeah that's when it hits her in the face."
And the funny thing is everybody around the lady like dove out of there.
Everyone got out of there but she just like sits there like.
You see everyone dives and at the last minute as the tire is rocketing at her
face. This is her defense. She goes OOOOO! *raises hand in slap motion*
Like she's just gonna get in a slap fight with a Goodyear.
Like she's just gonna go PAH and deflect it.
Or maybe she just palmed it PAH.
There can only be one Highlander! Tyres cannot defeat me!
What a horrible way to go...
"What happened to Mary?"
"A tyre... hit her in the face."
How do you say that without laughing?
A tyre- I can't even do it now!
"How did Mary die?"
"A TYRE hit her in the FACE!"
"What was she doing putting her face near tyres?"
"No no no no this tyre hunted Mary down. This tyre murdered Mary.
This tyre wasn't f**king around as we like to say.
This tyre was out for vengeance."
