On Sunday, April 28th, Corey Heim will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in the Würth 400 from Delaware’s Dover Motor Speedway.
The opportunity comes at the misfortune of Legacy Motor Club Toyota driver Erik Jones. On Tuesday, he announced he would be sidelined due to a lower vertebral compression fracture.
On Lap 157 of last weekend’s GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, a turn three incident saw Jones turned head-on into the outside retaining wall. Additional Toyota drivers Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, and Legacy Motor Club teammate John Hunter Nemechek were all involved in the wreck.
Jones was initially taken to the racetrack’s infield care center before getting released, providing an interview for the NASCAR on FOX broadcast. He was then transported to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital for further evaluation. Later that night, Jones met with medical specialists in Charlotte, North Carolina where the injury was revealed.
