Brandon Jones is set to return to Joe Gibbs Racing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025.
He previously raced with the team for three years, between 2018 and 2022, and has now signed a new multi-year contract.
Currently, Jones drives the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports (JRM). In 2023, he missed the playoffs with three top-five finishes and ten top-10 finishes.
This year, the 27-year-old has one top-five finish and five top-10 finishes so far.
He is currently just outside the cutoff line for this season and needs to win one of the next three races to make the playoffs.
A disappointed Richard Childress, who has raced in NASCAR as a team owner for 55 years, indicated that NASCAR’s ruling and its appeals decisions that revoked Austin Dillon’s playoff spot will have a huge impact on NASCAR racing and he also considers himself having received the biggest fine in NASCAR history in the money lost in not making the playoffs.
“Their ruling has changed NASCAR racing on the final lap forever,” Childress said Saturday prior to Cup practice at Darlington Raceway, later adding, “It’s over a million dollars to us.
The largest fine ever in NASCAR. I’m just disappointed, disappointed, disappointed. That’s all I can say.”
