From the Cockpit:

Brandon Jones: “After an up and down race last weekend we are anxious to head to Charlotte Motor Speedway. I always love coming to Charlotte twice a year with it being so close to home and have been able to show great success in the past. While my focus will be on the Xfinity Series, I am also competing in the ARCA Menards Series Friday night. I will be looking for how the car progresses, work on passing areas and competitive restarts the whole time to use towards Saturday’s race.  In addition, this weekend pays tribute to honor all the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces that have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. I am looking forward to a great race and seeing lots of family and friends to come out and support us. I have been eager to win at my new home track and know we will put up a great fight to bring the hardware home for the Joe Gibbs Racing Menards Bali GR Supra.”
