Erik Jones returned to the infield care center at Talladega Superspeedway after a vicious impact during Sunday’s GEICO 500 and has been transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
Jones was involved in a multi-car crash with his Toyota teammates with 33 laps to go Sunday afternoon. The group of seven drivers made a pit stop a few laps before and were running single-file going into Turn 3 when contact sent Jones, the second car in line behind Tyler Reddick, head-on into the outside wall.
The crash ended the day for Jones, Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin. John Hunter Nemechek was also collected but finished the race.
