Erik Jones, who is the first driver this year to miss a race because of injury, and others discussed the fallout from his broken back.
DOVER, Del. — Erik Jones tried not to think about someone else driving his car Sunday as a compression fracture in his lower back sidelined him from the race at Dover Motor Speedway. After doctors told him two days after his hard crash at Talladega Superspeedway that he would have to sit out this week, he pretty much resigned himself to the fact. And he didn't think it would bother him too much ...
officials still have the car at its Research and Development Center. He said the data of his accident was similar to that of Ryan Blaney's last summer at Daytona. Blaney said that accident had a G-force recording of 70Gs. Blaney was uninjured. Jones is a couple inches taller than Blaney.
