Can you take us through your experience for your first time at Texas Motor Speedway?
“Today was a blast. I just want to thank the good Lord for keeping us safe today. It’s a beautiful day today here in Texas. The Mobil 1 Toyota GR Supra was as fast as it could be. Some mistakes on my part learning green-flag stops and stuff but that comes with it. I had a blast and thankful to bring this team home some money. They deserve it with how hard they’ve been working in the shop. Congrats to Kyle (Larson) and Justin (Allgaier). It was really fun getting to race some of the best guys in our sport.”
What grade would you give yourself today in your first start at Texas?
“You asked me this question at Bristol, and I don’t remember what I gave myself. I don’t know – maybe like an A minus – somewhere in there – maybe a B plus. I feel like my car was really, really good today. I just want to thank the good Lord above for keeping us safe. The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. It warmed up from yesterday, so it was a little bit tougher in the car. This Mobil 1 Toyota GR Supra was as fast as it could be. I just needed a little bit more there at the end. It just got a little bit tight, but I had a blast there at the end getting to race Larson and Allgaier and Sam (Mayer). I told Sam this the other week – I grew up watching Sam in the class ahead of me racing go-karts so it’s like full circle getting to race against all of these guys. Great points day for this team. I want to thank Seth and this team and everybody at Mobil 1. They did such a great job.”
What does an 18-year-old do with $100,000?
“That’s a great question. Unfortunately, I don’t think my mom or my dad will let me do anything exciting so I’ll see what I can do.”
BRANDON JONES, No. 20 Menards/Sylvania Toyota GR Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 8th
How was your race and what did you need more of today?
“We qualified really good and had a great practice yesterday. We came into a little hotter track today. Our short run speed was kind of our kryptonite and our weakness, but our long run speed was where we were really good. I didn’t really want to see that yellow at the end, but the yellow was also our shot to try to go and win the race again. Looking back at the race again and the whole event, maybe I pick behind the 88 (Kyle Larson) to have a slightly better chance at it but I don’t know. I think our balance was still just slightly off even on that last run to kind of end. We did all we could. The guys did a really good job of trying to make swings at it and make adjustments. Looking forward to the next couple weeks. We’ve got some great tracks coming up. It was a good points day. I know we want to be better than that and we were fourth capable so eighth was worst case scenario but all in all it was still a solid day.”
