I saw it fly also,i can't verify it landed in the stands though. I have it on tape,it looked like it flew into the stands,but none of the people moved out of the way or tried to duck,so i am not sure it actually went back as far as the seats are,might have landed in the area between the wall and the seats.

It's on Jayski that it was the rear bumper cover. No one was injured though.
