This is a very smart move by Legacy and Jones. He can legitimately compete for a win at darlington and giving him an extra week to make sure he is ready and/or to prevent re-injury if he were caught up in an accident ensures he is in top shape to go full attack at Darlington without any nagging discomfort to distract him.

On the one hand, it makes sense for JTG to get Stenhouse resigned early because if they are sponsor hunting, it allows them to market the team with a driver who has won the biggest race in the series. It is a lot easier to find a sponsor when you have a driver who has been with the team and is willing to stay with the team.
On the other hand, Stenhouse is taking a big gamble that JTG or whatever the team will be called next year will find a sponsor because if they don’t, he could find himself on the outside looking in if the team shuts down due to a lack of sponsorship. The problem for Stenhouse is that looking at the possible open seats for next year (a majority of which will have drivers resigned), there is probably nowhere else in the garage area for Stenhouse to go, so staying was his best option unless he moved down to the Xfinity (or whatever it will be called next year) series and find a stable ride there and stay.

Stenhouse when giving the right car always puts on a show and is a top 10/playoff contender.
Nashville, Kansas and any superspeedway always comes to mind. Hell he last Dover.

In reply to @parker838. I think that team is switching to Toyota even though those co-owners are going to Joe Gibbs. When you think about it it would kind of make sense because if they did that would be another Toyota partner which wouldn't be ruled out of impossible..

If I was LMC, I would have Jones start the race and then have Heim enter after the first caution so he can earn the points.

When it comes to back injuries, I hear Bowman last year and Hamlin a decade ago. The big scary one that still lingers in my memory though is Almirola at this this weekends Kansas race back in 2017 with him being in a nasty wreck involving Logano and Danica after Logano blew a brake rotor that resulted in Almirola needing to get cut out of the car and airlifted to the Hospital where he was diagnosed with a compression fracture of his T5 vertebrae. He missed 7 races as a result and It ended up being his final year driving the RPM #43 before moving to the SHR #10 from 2018 till his final season last year.

It wasn’t too terribly long ago a previous driver of the 43 suffered a fractured back at Kansas. I think sitting him out is the better option
