From the Cockpit:

Brandon Jones: “I am very excited to get back to Daytona this weekend and kick off the 2022 race season! Over the last few months Jeff (Meendering) and I have sat down and reviewed last year’s notes and discussed what we can do better as a team. I feel very confident that we will bring fast GR Supras to the track every week. During the off season I have been keeping my physical and mental game strong along with a lot of time on the Toyota SIM. I’m excited to add some new additions to the team this year and believe it’ll be a great fit. It’s really exciting to have Menards and Swiffer back on board, they are a huge part of this team.  We are extremely focused on starting Daytona strong and competing for the championship.”
