Brandon Jones: “After a heartbreaking weekend in Martinsville my team and I are looking forward to one last race together. We are headed to the season finale at Phoenix Raceway which has proven to be one of my best tracks. I am going into the race weekend with one goal and that is to win. I will be closing out the season in the No. 19 Menards/Pelonis Toyota GR Supra and would love to get them one more win in the 2022 season. “
