From the Cockpit: 

Brandon Jones:  

“It may be an off weekend for the Xfinity Series, but we are fortunate enough to keep the race season in full throttle and head out west to run in the ARCA Menards Series at Iowa Speedway. I always enjoy coming back to this series because it helped pave the way in my NASCAR career. I am looking forward to heading back to where I made my first Xfinity debut, received my first K&N win, and a track that has been one of my favorites since the beginning. Iowa Speedway has a lot of characteristics of both mile-and-a-half and short tracks. The groove will move around which is always a thrill for the fans and the drivers throughout the race. Menards has been a great and supportive sponsor for us, and I am excited to have them and Morton Salt on the Camry this weekend. We will give it all we have and leave everything out on the table to get them a victory Saturday night.”
