Erik Jones has been replaced by Corey Heim for the upcoming race at Dover. Last Sunday’s Talladega Cup race turned into a nightmare for Legay Motor Club’s driver of the No:43 Toyota Camry. Jones was involved in a wreck while drafting with his TRD teammates, resulting in major damages to their cars. All three drivers were initially released from the infield care center after checkups, but Jones had to return for further evaluation and was later shifted to a local hospital. His injury will require time to heal, causing him to miss the Cup race at Dover.
With Corey Heim taking over Jones’ seat, the injured driver expressed his current feelings honestly. Jones admitted to still feeling sore and experiencing limited movement. Despite these challenges, he is gradually improving every day, despite allergies.
When discussing a potential comeback, Jones emphasized that he will only return once his injury is fully healed. He acknowledged the difficulties but remains optimistic about his progress.
The crash at Talladega may have halted Jones’ positive momentum, as he was in fine form prior to the incident. It is important for Jones and his team to carefully plan his comeback and find the right time for him to start performing again.
