Brandon Jones on racing a Truck at Iowa Speedway

“I’m really looking forward to getting back in the truck. I think I was able to learn a lot at Bristol, and I think it will be good for myself and my Turner Scott Motorsports team that I am making my second series start at a track where I have a lot of seat time. I think if we go out and stay out of trouble, run the full race and bring home a clean truck, that will be a good run for the Wolfpack Energy Services team.”
