Brandon Jones is returning to Joe Gibbs Racing next season in a multi-year deal to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. It’s a reunion for the 27-year-old who raced for the team from 2018 to 2022. During that time, Jones won all five of his races in the division. “I am very excited to return to Joe Gibbs Racing and join the Toyota Racing family,” Jones said in a press release. “My time at JGR has been one of the most rewarding of my career and I look forward to building on that success as we pursue more wins and a championship together.” I’m ready to jump in and take advantage of this incredible opportunity.
Jones is the son of Rheem director JR Jones, who offers this and the B2B partnership with Menard’s for Ledger Financing. We are excited to have Brandon back at Joe Gibbs Racing next season,” said Joe Gibbs. “He has tested with us and we know he will be in the championship race every year. “His veteran leadership will also be a tremendous asset to our program.”
Jones is currently 14th in the Xfinity Series championship standings and is looking to make a strong push in the playoffs, potentially Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway, his home track.
“Right now, I’m still focused on finishing this year strong for my team, my team, my manufacturer and Menards,” Jones said. “We will give everything to qualify for the playoffs and finish the year on a good note.” JR Motorsports has made an exchange of crew chief and crew around Jones and Sammy Smith, who is 10th in the standings and still looking for his first win.Adam Wall will switch to Jones and the No.9 car while Phillip Bell moves to the No.8, where he will partner Smith next season.
“We are determined to do everything we can to ensure that our four JRM teams qualify for the play-offs and we believe this change. it will give Sammy and Brandon the best chance to make it. We have complete faith in all our racing teams and will do everything we can to ensure everyone’s success.
Carson Kvapil, who drives for JR Motorsports on the CARS Tour, where he won two championships, is the most likely candidate to take the No. 8 if the funding to do so.
