This season, Corey Heim ranks second in the Truck Series standings and has not finished outside the top 10 in seven starts.

Erik Jones will miss this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway following a brutal crash Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Jones said in a video on social media that he has a spinal fracture and will take his recovery week by week. Legacy Motor Club said Jones’ fracture was discovered after he met with specialists in the Charlotte area. Advertisement NASCAR Truck Series driver Corey Heim will substitute for Jones in the No.

Why Legacy picked Heim as Jones’ substitute That Legacy Motor Club would tab Heim to come off the bench to substitute for Jones is no surprise; situations like this one are why he was selected by LMC to serve as its reserve driver in case of an emergency.
