Erik Jones will miss Kansas Cup race "out of an abundance of caution"

Jones, 27, suffered a compression fracture of lower vertebra in a head-on crash at Talladega Superspeedway last month.

Jones was drafting in a single-file line with his fellow Toyota drivers after the final stop of the race. On Lap 157, a push into the corner unsettled the pack.
