Erik Jones is from the next town over from me.

SRA, is he a good kid? What do you know about him other than he drives good gear very fast?

"I was sitting on my couch back in North Carolina thinking about when I was going to get my nap in during the race in the middle and then I got a text from one of the crew members and they let me know that I might need to be on standby," Jones said in a Toyota Racing press release. "Right then I started packing a bag. I called my dad and said, 'Hey, I think I might be getting to run a Cup race tonight.' He was like, 'Okay, cool keep me updated.' Took off right from there and flew here and helicoptered in and got in and drove."

Gibbs said Jones made it to Bristol with five minutes to spare. That's wild.

Not Jones, but I heard yesterday from a family friend who's a longtime Daytona resident that Ben Kennedy is/used to be an entitled prick. SRA?

Hmmm someone who is a descendent of the France family is an entitled prick. You don't say.

Perfect.

EDIT: Dale also had a relief driver in qualifying when Jimmy Hensley put his car on the pole at Martinsville in the fall of 1989. But that was due to Hurricane Hugo interfering with Earnhardt getting to the race, not to injury. Earnhardt drove the car in the race.

Oh yeah and in '79 Earnhardt broke both collar bones at Pocono and had to have David Pearson take over the car.

Man Jimmy Hensley, talk about a guy who never got a fair shake. Dude was clearly pretty good but could never get a drive.

The guy beat Biffle, Harvick, Irvin, and Hornaday (who was driving a DEI truck) to win at 53 years old. Ridiculous.

There was a massive "Send him more well wishes because he needs them" campaign yesterday on Twitter. It felt like something was bad wrong.

This is sad that Racehub had so much already canned for this with all of the highlights and interviews. I'd say his prognosis was terminal and catching pneumonia was everyone knowing it was the end. :smith:

Unfortunately, when a cancer patient catches pneumonia like that that's usually the end. I've lost two family members to cancer (one just a couple of weeks ago, actually, which is probably part of the reason why this hurts so much) and both of them ended up in the ICU with pneumonia shortly before they died. The chemo just wrecks you.

This, for some reason, really broke my heart:
