Erik Jones and the No. 43 Medallion Bank Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE team finished in the 31st-place in the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) Explore the Pocono Mountains 350 at the Pocono (Pa.) Raceway on Sunday, June 27.

"Today was a challenge for the No. 43 Medallion Bank Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE. Our team tried to make some changes Saturday night to help our speed, but it just did not work out. We have to go to work to make it better for the future."
