From the Driver’s Seat: Erik Jones
Does the run at Texas give you momentum heading to Kansas?
“I hope so. I like Kansas a lot and we’ve run really well there in the past and had a shot to win there last year. Hopefully, we can go back and do the same thing. I feel like we’ve had good speed there each time we’ve gone. Especially in the night races there so looking forward to that. I think our cars have been right there if we can hit it right on the first run of the race. We just have to keep unloading well and starting the race close and I think we’ll have a shot at it.”
How difficult was the heat at Texas and how difficult are the quick race turnarounds this week from Bristol to Texas and then Kansas Thursday night for recovery?
“It’s kind of right on the limit. I usually take at least four days before the race is when I start hydrating so it’s going to be close. I know I did sweat a lot today and feel like I lost a lot of water weight. I feel dehydrated for sure. Going to take some time to get back from this one. It was obviously hot. It didn’t feel too bad in the car, but I know that I was losing a lot of water. Kansas hopefully will be a little bit cooler, that would be convenient for us, but it’s definitely been tough with the quick turnarounds of these last few races.”

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.”
