From the Cockpit: 

Brandon Jones: “Our No. 19 Menards/Nibco team is excited to be heading into the second round of the Xfinity Series Playoffs. We have been looking forward to getting back on the ovals and Las Vegas Motor Speedway is just that! In the midst of the Playoffs, it’s a really important time to keep our rhythm, be aggressive, and be smart. I’m pumped to start battling it out in the Round of 8. I believe the key is to dig deep in our notebook, pull from our past experiences, get some laps in at the Toyota Racing Development simulator, and review the film to best use our strengths. This team has high expectations, and we are determined to keep advancing toward the Championship Four.”
