TC Daily Pit Stop: Tuesday, September 3, 2024
Throwback Tuesday? The news that dropped on Tuesday, coupled with last week’s race being at Darlington Raceway has me feeling the throwback vibes today. How about you guys? How are you feeling today? Feel free to comment below, and here is the latest TC Daily Pit Stop:
Brandon Jones Heading Back to Joe Gibbs Racing on Multi-Year Deal in 2025
It’ll be a reunion for Brandon Jones and the Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR Xfinity Series program next season as Jones announced a multi-year contract with the team on Tuesday morning. Jones, who won five races over a five-year period with JGR, moved to JR Motorsports in 2023, where he has had less than stellar results.
The 27-year-old driver, and JGR are hoping the reunion will be beneficial to both parties.
