Making a splash: TSM development driver's practice run ends in a creek
A scary moment for Turner Scott Motorsports development driver Brandon Jones.
On Friday - during practice for a late model race at Watermelon Capital Speedway (Cordele, GA) - Jones ended up off the track and in a water-filled ditch. Yikes.

The team says Jones was the victim of a stuck throttle. Luckily, nobody was injured.
This season, Jones will be running in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for TSM.
