2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones experienced some regression in 2023 and posted just seven Top-10 finishes and a career-worst 27th-place finish in the driver standings. He also registered a career-worst 20.4 average finish for the campaign. The newly-branded Legacy Motor Club seemed to take a few steps back from their much more successful 2022 season. Jones' struggles were not unique as Noah Gragson and other driver's also struggled in the team's cars. New for 2024, Legacy Motor Club makes the switch to Toyota from Chevrolet. It's difficult to forecast how this change will immediately impact performance, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect some time to adjust before any gains are realized. Jones will be reunited with crew chief, Dave Elenz, so continuity and chemistry should continue to build. The veteran driver has clearly demonstrated he can be a "middle teens" driver but it will take some time and effort to get back there. Read Past Outlooks

Fifth-Place at Atlanta
Jones finished fifth in the Quaker State 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at EchoPark Speedway on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Jones would overcome starting back in the field to patiently move forward over the course of this 400-mile battle in Atlanta. The Legacy Motor Club driver would break into the Top 5 by the end of stage 2 and then hold onto that track position gained in stage 3. Jones would battle it out inside the Top 10 after the final caution and restart and hold off a hard-charging Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to collect the strong fifth-place finish at EchoPark Speedway. It was his second Top 5 of the season.
