Erik Jones describes his health as “pretty much 100%” two months after suffering a compression fracture of a lower vertebra in his back at Talladega Superspeedway.
“I feel good,” Jones said at Iowa Speedway. “There’s still some occasional pain here and there, but it’s nothing a lot different than what I had before with racing. So, I feel good and am doing normal stuff.
“I ran a late model again (before Iowa). Everything has been feeling pretty good.”
Jones was injured during a frontal impact in Turn 3 when his Legacy Motor Club Toyota Camry was hit from behind in a bump draft accordion gone wrong. The seven-car Toyota teammate draft with 33 laps to go was set to leapfrog the field on strategy before the incident.
