Erik Jones was able to walk away from a violent crash during the final stage of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
A group of seven Toyota Racing drivers were the first to hit pit road with 36 laps remaining to make their final green flag stop for fuel to make it to the end of the race. Tyler Reddick was leading a group of seven drivers in a single-file line when a bad push entering Turn 3 sent Jones head-on into the inside wall. His Legacy Motor Club teammate John-Hunter Nemechek was also involved.
Wallace got into the right-rear of Jones. Nemechek could not avoid it and his damaged No. 42 Toyota came back down the track, hooking Hamlin. Jones, after initially complaining about back pain on the radio, was checked and released from the infield care center. 'I'm a little sore, but I'll be alright,' said Jones. 'No. 23 was pushing ... we were pushing and shoving, I got sideways into 3, tried to gather it up and got really hard into the wall. Hard hit, but I'm alright.
