What kind of racer is Erik Jones? His fans would say really competitive. Well, the 27-year-old Michigan native himself said: “I’m kind of a reserved guy. I’m really not loud or in your face. That’s not me. Until I get behind the wheel of a race car. Then I’m in your face, in your mirror, then out in front.” Rightly said, indeed. Jones started his racing career when he was just seven and moved up to the stock car at just 13.


At 14, he won the prestigious Bob Cross Memorial at Dixie Motor Speedway and became the youngest driver to do so in the ASA Late Model history, shattering the previous record of 16. Today, Erik Jones drives the #43 Toyota Camry XSE full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series for Legacy Motorclub.


Erik Jones Wins

Jones became the third driver to amass back-to-back wins in the coveted Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola in 2013. His winning ways channelled his career into NASCAR's top-tier racing arena, where he became the first 16-year-old athlete (since Kyle Busch) to take part in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Remarkably enough, he finished the season ninth on points.


It took Jones merely five starts in the Truck Series to secure his career-first win at Phoenix International Raceway on November 8, 2013. The following year, Jones secured a triple-header victory in the CRA Super Late Model events at Berlin Speedway, Anderson Speedway, and the Winchester 400.


Erik Jones Xfinity Series wins

Jones won his first NXS victory at Texas Motor Speedway in April 2015 after starting from the pole and leading 79 laps. He gathered two more wins that season, besides 11 top-five and 20 top-10 performances.


The speedster joined Joe Gibbs Racing’s Xfinity line-up in 2016 and picked up four checkered flags, 15 top-fives, and 20 top-10s. His stellar performance brought him the honor of the 2016 Sunoco Rookie of the Year. He came back the next year to win three more races in the Xfinity Series, simultaneously completing his freshman year in the Cup Series.


Erik Jones Cup Series wins

Jones’ first Cup Series victory came in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on July 7, 2018, at the famous Daytona International Speedway. He flaunted his racing prowess by taming Darlington Raceway and winning the crown jewel Southern 500 in 2019. He swam to the victory lane yet again in the 2020 Busch Clash.


Jones tied up with Richard Petty Motorsports in 2021, now Petty GMS, and won his second Southern 500 victory just the following year. In 2023, the team sold an ownership stake to 7X Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and re-emerged as Legacy Motor club. Today, Jones drives in the Cup Series for Legacy MC alongside teammates, John Hunter Nemechek and boss, Jimmie Johnson.
