From the Cockpit:
Brandon Jones: “We are off to a very good start for the Xfinity Series Playoffs with a second-place finish at Talladega and a sixth-place finish at Las Vegas. I am looking forward to the Roval this weekend in front of the home crowd. We finished 10th there last year and we have fourth place finishes on the Daytona road course and Mid-Ohio and a sixth place finish at Watkins Glen. I feel we keep getting better at road courses and with all the preparation I am putting into them I have a lot of confidence that we can come out of Charlotte with a top-five or better. Our 19 Toyota Supra team is focused on locking into the next round of the playoffs and advancing. I will be working hard on my fitness, practicing in the TRD simulator, and going over plenty of notes with my crew chief Jeff Meendering. Our team feels really strong and knows we are contenders for this championship. I am ready to put our Toyota Racing Supra in a position to get our first road course win.”
