.[autotag]Erik Jones[/autotag] was involved in a very bad accident on Lap 157 of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday afternoon. Jones’ No. 43 car shot up the race track into the wall after the Toyota drivers made a mistake while running single file. The Legacy Motor Club driver talked to the media after being released from the infield care center but it didn’t last long.
Jones returned to the infield care center later and was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation after his wreck. Luckily, the driver of the No. 43 car didn’t have to stay in the hospital overnight. According to a press release from Legacy Motor Club, Jones was transferred to UAB University and released before the clock struck midnight on Sunday.

It is unclear if Jones has suffered an injury or not but it is good that he didn’t need to stay. On the No. 43 radio, Jones was talking about his back and said after the wreck that he was sore. Hopefully, the Legacy Motor Club driver is OK as the Cup Series goes to Dover Motor Speedway for a tough and physical 400 miles on concrete.
