Erik Jones hospitalized after returning to Talladega care center after GEICO 500 wreck

Unfortunate news after the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Erik Jones was taken to the hospital following a hard wreck today. Jones was released from the NASCAR care center, returned, and then was taken to the hospital.

The wreck that Erik Jones was involved in was violent. Toyota had their group of drivers on the same pit strategy. It looked like a genius plan, too. That’s when they went over the bump where the tunnel is located under the track.

The line of Toyotas got loose, John Hunter Nemechek may have pushed too hard on Bubba Wallace. Then, it all fell apart. Jones got hooked and went straight into the wall.

Jones had complained about his back hurting directly after the wreck. Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports reported on Jones being hospitalized.

This is a developing story…
