Erik Jones was involved in a multi-car crash at Talladega Superspeedway during the GEICO 500 and was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation after returning to the infield care center. The crash occurred when Jones and his Toyota teammates, after a pit stop, were hit, sending him head-on into the outside wall with 33 laps left. The incident ended the race for Jones, Bubba Wallace, and Denny Hamlin, although John Hunter Nemechek was able to finish. Despite alerting his team about his back pain post-crash, Jones was released from the care center and later reported soreness but reassured he would recover. His final result was a 35th-place finish.
