Erik Jones: “Bristol is really cool. I think having the All-Star race there is something that we’ve all been looking to do and maybe try in the future, so this was kind of the perfect time to do it. Bristol has been one of my favorite tracks for the last few years and one of our best tracks too. Pretty cool. Great opportunity to go there and try to win a million bucks which would be pretty awesome. Hopefully we can go there and challenge for a win. It should be a really exciting race.”

From the Driver’s Seat: Erik Jones
Erik Jones: “I’m always excited to go to Bristol. It’s been a great track to me for a lot of years and I’ve been really close to a Cup win there the last few years. Hopefully this is the one where we can put it all together and end up in Victory Lane. We’ve always got really good speed and been fast and always feel like we are in contention for a win, so hopefully we can keep it clean all day and get ourselves in position to have a shot at the win late in the race. Excited to get there, definitely our first short track in a while and I think we’ll have a good shot to go out there and grab a win.”
