Erik Jones isn’t just another name in the garage. He’s been a standout since his teenage years, bursting onto the scene with serious swagger. Back in 2013, at just 17, he outran Kyle Busch in the Truck Series at Phoenix, becoming the youngest winner in that series’ history.
That victory set the tone: a kid unfazed by the big dogs, ready to make his mark. From there, Jones climbed fast, snagging the 2015 Truck Series championship with Kyle Busch Motorsports and then tearing it up in Xfinity with Joe Gibbs Racing. By 2017, he was the Cup Series Rookie of the Year, driving for Furniture Row Racing’s second team, proving he could hang with the best.
His career’s had some serious highlights. In 2018, Jones conquered the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona and bagged the Southern 500 at Darlington
