Erik Jones sidelined with compression fracture after Talladega crash
Erik Jones, driving the No. 43 Legacy Motor Club Toyota Camry, was involved in a crash during Sunday’s race while following Tyler Reddick in a line of seven Toyotas. The wreck resulted in Jones sustaining a compression fracture in a lower vertebra. Jones complained of back pain immediately after the crash and had to be hospitalized for further evaluation at UAB University Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. He will miss the upcoming race at Dover, and Corey Heim will make his Cup Series debut driving the No. 43 car. The team’s priority is Jones’ long-term health, and they will seek a medical waiver for him to stay eligible for the playoffs.
