After his Talladega crash on lap 155, Legacy Motor Club driver Erik Jones’ fortunes have taken a downturn. Initially, he was checked and released from the infield care center. But a re-evaluation at a local hospital yielded dismal results. Jones had said, “I’m sore, it just really stretched it out a lot. So, it’ll be a long week, just trying to get recovered and feeling better for next week. But I’m alright.”

Now, Erik Jones has released a video saying he has a spinal fracture. Accordingly, his Dover schedule has been tweaked. In his place, LMC reserve driver Corey Heim will drive his car at Dover International Speedway the following weekend.

 

Legacy Motor Club’s X page updated: “NEWS: @CoreyHeim_ to substitute for @Erik_Jones in No. 43 Dollar Tree Toyota Camry XSE for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Dover Motor Speedway.”

 

We can only wait and see how the Truck Series standout will perform in Erik Jones’ stead.
