- Key Takeaway: Conner Jones and the Niece Equipment team were having a solid outing in Talladega before being collected in a multi-truck crash, which took them out of the running. Jones started the 225-mile race in 28th and played it smart in the opening two stages. After finishing 12th in stage one, Jones was dealt a pit road speeding violation and had to restart from the tail of the field. He drove the truck back up inside the top-15 in stage two, and continued to gain experience, setting up for the final stage. On lap 57, Jones made contact with another truck in front of him and was sent spinning down the backstretch. His truck was heavily damaged and could not complete the race, resulting in a 27th-place finish.
- Conner Jones’ Post-Race Thoughts:
“It was fun out there today and we had a fast Niece Equipment Chevy. I just have to do better next time to not wreck and put myself in a bad position, I guess. I really don’t know what happened; I haven’t had a chance to see a great replay yet. It sucks that we couldn’t finish, but we will move onto Martinsville next week.”
