from Wikipedia

Edward Jones (born 12 February 1995) is a British racing driver[3] who last competed part-time in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, driving the No. 20 Oreca 07 for High Class Racing, and part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the Nos. 24/26 Toyota Supra for Sam Hunt Racing. Primarily an open-wheel racing driver, Jones previously competed in the Formula Renault Eurocup, Formula Three, Indy Lights, IndyCar Series and FIA World Endurance Championship.

Key Information

Jones won the 2016 Indy Lights championship driving for Carlin Motorsport in just his second season in the series. He joined the IndyCar Series full-time in 2017 driving for Dale Coyne Racing and finished third in the 2017 Indianapolis 500. In 2018, he drove full-time for Chip Ganassi Racing and in 2019, he drove the majority of the IndyCar season in an entry fielded by Ed Carpenter Racing in a collaboration with sports car racing team Scuderia Corsa. In 2020, Jones was scheduled to leave IndyCar and compete in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters but did not end up running any races due to COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions. In 2021, he returned to IndyCar and DCR, driving the team's joint entry with Vasser-Sullivan Racing. In 2022, he competed full-time in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Jota Sport.

At different points in his career, Jones has competed under both British and Emirati licences.[1][2]

Racing career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Born in Dubai, Jones began his racing career in karting in local championships at the age of nine. In 2005, he clinched the United Arab Emirates karting championship title.[4] He collected six titles in various classes before he started a karting campaign in Europe in 2008. He raced in the Rotax Max and KF3 categories until 2010.[5]

InterSteps and Formula Renault

[edit]

In 2011, Jones made his debut in single-seaters taking part in the new-for-2011 InterSteps championship for Fortec Motorsport, finishing the championship in fourth place with one win.[6] As well as this, Jones raced for Fortec in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and the British Formula Renault Championship, as well as the off-season Formula Renault UK Finals Series, finishing fifteenth in the standings with four-point-scoring finishes.[7]

Jones continued his collaboration with Fortec into 2012, competing in Formula Renault 2.0 NEC and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.[8] His only points finish in the Eurocup was a ninth place at Le Castellet, that brought him 27th place in the series standings.[citation needed]

Jones remained at Fortec in 2013, competing again in some of the Formula Renault Eurocup rounds taking two podium positions at the Red Bull Ring in Spielburg, Austria.[citation needed] He finished eleventh in the championship with 45 points.[9]

Formula Three

[edit]

After contesting the final round of the 2012 European F3 Open Championship for Team West-Tec, Jones moved into the series full-time the following year, competing for the same team.[10] Despite missing the opening round, he exceeded Sandy Stuvik in the championship battle with six wins and another four podiums.[11]

Jones, who already competed for Fortec in the Hockenheimring round of the FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2013, raced for Carlin Motorsport in 2014.[12]

Indy Lights

[edit]

In 2015, Jones moved to the Indy Lights series, the recognised feeder championship for the IndyCar Series. He was signed to drive for Carlin, as he did in Formula 3, and took pole position and the race victory in both his and Carlin's first event in the series in St. Petersburg, Florida.[13] He also won the second and third races of the season, and finished third in the championship standings.[citation needed]

In October 2015, it was announced that Jones would return with Carlin to the Indy Lights series for 2016.[14] With two wins at Barber and Indianapolis, Jones would claim the Lights championship over Santiago Urrutia in a controversial ending. During the last lap of the last race of the 2016 series in Laguna Seca, Jones was holding the fifth position but was helped by his teammate Félix Serrallés who was holding fourth position in the race. Serrallés moved aside and gave his position to Jones, making him the champion by a slim points difference.[15] Consequently he won the Earl Howe trophy for the best performance by a British driver in North America in 2016.[16]

On 17 October 2018, it was confirmed that Jones would run all non-oval events as well as the 2019 Indianapolis 500 for a joint venture between Ed Carpenter Racing and Scuderia Corsa, driving the No. 20 in the road/street events and the No. 63 in the Indy 500.[22] In his first race with the team, Jones broke a bone in his hand after a shunt that knocked him out of the race.[23]

Jones with Scuderia Corsa placed in the Fast 9 in Indianapolis 500 qualifying and eventually placed fifth overall in the field. He also topped a practice session.[24]

DTM

[edit]

In December 2019, it was announced that Jones would be driving for Audi in the 2020 DTM series.[25]

However, Jones was replaced by Harrison Newey in the beginning of the season as he was stuck in Dubai due to travel restrictions because of COVID-19.[26]

Return to IndyCar

[edit]

Return to Dale Coyne Racing (2021)

[edit]

In January 2021, Dale Coyne Racing announced they had re-signed Jones to compete in the 2021 IndyCar season.[27] Despite qualifying in eleventh place for the 2021 Indianapolis 500, Jones would end the race in 28th place and was a lap down behind the leading cars.

The team announced in December that Jones was to be replaced by David Malukas for 2022.[28]

Ed Jones (racing driver)

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Edward Jones (born 12 February 1995) is a professional racing driver of British and Emirati nationality, best known for his achievements in open-wheel racing series such as Indy Lights and IndyCar, as well as his transitions into endurance and stock car racing.[1] Born in Dubai to British parents, Jones began his motorsport career in karting in the United Arab Emirates, where he secured multiple victories in local and regional championships between 2004 and 2007.[2] His early success propelled him into single-seater racing, marking him as a promising talent in international junior formulas. Jones progressed rapidly through the European racing ladder, achieving significant milestones in Formula 3. In 2013, he clinched the European F3 Open Championship while also finishing third in the British Formula 3 National Class.[3] Transitioning to the American open-wheel scene, he competed in Indy Lights, finishing third overall in 2015 before dominating the 2016 season to claim the championship title with two wins, eight podiums, and six pole positions.[4] This success earned him a full-time seat in the IndyCar Series starting in 2017 with Dale Coyne Racing, where he made an immediate impact by securing third place in his Indianapolis 500 debut, one of three career podiums in the series.[5] Over four seasons in IndyCar from 2017 to 2021 (skipping 2020), Jones raced for teams including Chip Ganassi Racing and Ed Carpenter Racing, accumulating 63 starts and demonstrating versatility on ovals, road courses, and street circuits.[6] In recent years, Jones has diversified into endurance and stock car racing to broaden his career. He debuted in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2021, competing in the GTD class and later LMP2, with notable results including a third-place finish at the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 category.[4] In 2024, he expanded into NASCAR, driving select Xfinity Series races for Sam Hunt Racing, where he achieved a career-best fifth place at Circuit of The Americas.[7] Jones continues to focus on part-time endurance and stock car racing events.

Early life and background

Childhood and family

Edward Jones was born on 12 February 1995 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to British parents.[1][2] He holds British nationality but has also represented the United Arab Emirates in competitions by utilizing an Emirati racing license at various points in his career.[2][4] Jones spent his childhood and formative years in Dubai, where his family had settled. His upbringing involved a typical routine of school followed by extracurricular activities, during which his family provided unwavering support for his budding interests outside formal education.[8] Central to Jones' early development was his father, Russell Jones, who actively encouraged his son's curiosity about speed and mechanics by facilitating hands-on experiences around the home and local tracks.[8][9] The family's relocation to Dubai earlier in their lives further shaped this supportive dynamic, allowing access to regional facilities that aligned with Russell's efforts to foster Ed's enthusiasm.[9]

Introduction to motorsport

Jones first drove go-karts at age 4 under his father's guidance, before beginning his competitive motorsport career in karting at the age of nine in 2004, racing in local championships in Dubai with the support of his family, who facilitated early practice sessions on local tracks.[4][8] His rapid progression was evident in his debut competitive season, where he quickly adapted to the demands of structured racing in the United Arab Emirates.[10] Jones secured his first major victory in 2005 by winning the United Arab Emirates Karting Championship in the Cadet class, marking the start of a dominant run in national competition.[4][10] He followed this with additional UAE national titles, including championships in the Cadet category in 2004 and 2005, before advancing to the Junior class in 2006, where he claimed titles in 2006 and 2007 as well as the Rotax Junior title in 2010.[3][11] Overall, Jones amassed seven UAE karting championships across these junior categories, establishing himself as a standout talent in the region through consistent podium finishes and race wins that honed his skills in high-speed, close-quarters racing.[4] Seeking greater challenges, Jones expanded his karting efforts internationally in 2008, competing in more competitive fields in Europe, including events in Italy in the KF3 class under the Msport team.[4][12] This move exposed him to advanced karting techniques and diverse track conditions, preparing him for the transition to single-seater racing while competing in series like Rotax Max and FIA Karting World Cup events until 2010.[3]

European racing career

Karting

Jones began his competitive karting career in the United Arab Emirates, where he dominated the local scene by securing six national titles between 2004 and 2007, including victories in the Cadet class in 2004 and 2005, and the Rotax Junior class in 2006 and 2007.[11][13] These early successes provided a strong foundation, prompting his transition to UK-based karting in 2008 to further his development in more competitive European environments.[14][15] In Europe, Jones competed in the Super One National Kart Championship, focusing on the Junior category. During the 2009 and 2010 seasons, he achieved several strong results, including a second-place finish in a heat at the Nutts Corner round in 2009 and a fourth-place in the second final at the same circuit in 2010, along with a fifth-place in a race at the 2010 British Championship rounds.[16][17][18] He continued in the series in 2011, ending the Junior class standings in 15th overall while racing for Msport Karting on Zanardi and Maranello chassis.[19][20] Jones also participated in international CIK-FIA events during 2010 and 2011, competing in the U18 category with Msport Karting. In the 2010 CIK-FIA U18 World Championship, he raced a Maranello kart, finishing 23rd overall while placing 30th in the FIA Karting World Cup in the KF3 class.[3][20] These outings in structured European and global competitions, including multiple podium finishes in heats across various rounds, marked his progression toward single-seater racing.[18][16]

Formula Renault and InterSteps

Jones made his debut in single-seater racing in 2011 with the inaugural InterSteps Championship, competing for Fortec Motorsport in the Mygale FB02 chassis powered by a BMW engine. Despite being a newcomer to open-wheel cars, he claimed one victory and nine podium finishes across 20 races, securing five pole positions and three fastest laps en route to fourth place in the drivers' standings with 427 points.[3] Building on this success, Jones continued with Fortec in 2012, entering the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup (NEC) and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series using the Barazi-Epsilon FR2.0-10 chassis with Renault power. In the NEC, he participated in seven races, achieving consistent points finishes but no podiums, ending 20th overall. His Eurocup campaign spanned seven events with similarly modest results, culminating in 27th in the championship standings.[21][3] In 2013, Jones remained with Fortec for a busier schedule across multiple Formula Renault 2.0 platforms, including the Eurocup and select NEC rounds. His standout performances came in the Eurocup, where he contested 12 of 14 races and earned two podiums—third place in both races at the Red Bull Ring—accumulating 45 points for 11th in the final standings. In the NEC, he raced five times, scoring 43 points but finishing 29th due to inconsistent results. Jones also competed in six rounds of the British Formula Renault 2.0 series, though without podiums. Off-season, he entered the Formula Renault UK Winter Series, placing 15th with 42 points from a best finish of fourth.[22][3][21] Jones' 2014 Formula Renault involvement was limited as he shifted focus toward Formula 3, but he briefly returned to the UK Winter Series with Fortec, again finishing 15th overall. These junior formula campaigns highlighted his adaptation to single-seaters, with strong qualifying pace and podium potential in competitive fields, paving the way for advancement to higher categories. Notable highlights included his InterSteps podium streak and the Red Bull Ring double-podium, demonstrating resilience on circuits like Spa-Francorchamps during NEC events.[3]

Formula 3

Jones entered Formula 3 in 2013 following his successes in Formula Renault series, which provided the necessary experience for stepping up to the more demanding open-wheel category.[23] In the 2013 European F3 Open Championship, Jones competed for Team West-Tec in a Dallara F312 chassis powered by a 2.0-liter Toyota engine producing approximately 240 horsepower, paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox and weighing 580 kg including the driver.[3] The car's carbon fiber monocoque featured pushrod suspension with twin dampers and coil springs, a wheelbase of 2,800 mm, front track width of 1,595 mm, and rear track width of 1,540 mm. Over 14 races, he secured 6 victories and 10 podium finishes, clinching the championship with 256 points ahead of runner-up Sandy Stuvik by 9 points.[3][24] This dominant performance highlighted his adaptability to the series' technical demands, including tire management on varied European circuits.[23] Jones progressed to the more competitive FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2014 with Carlin Motorsport, driving the Dallara F312 equipped with a Volkswagen engine under the same core specifications as his previous car.[3] He contested all 20 races but faced stiff competition from established teams like Prema Powerteam, achieving 2 podiums—no wins—and finishing 13th in the standings with 70 points.[3][25] A back injury from a crash at Pau sidelined him for three rounds, impacting his consistency, yet he demonstrated pace with top-10 finishes in several events.[26]

American open-wheel career

Indy Lights

In 2016, Ed Jones returned to the Indy Lights series for his second season, partnering with Carlin Motorsport in the No. 11 Dallara IL-15-Mazda. His prior experience in European Formula 3 circuits aided his quick adaptation to the American open-wheel developmental category's blend of road courses and high-speed ovals. Jones delivered a commanding performance, capturing the drivers' championship with consistent results that included two race victories, eight podium finishes, and eight pole positions across the 18-race schedule.[27][28] Jones started strongly with poles in both races at St. Petersburg, though mechanical issues limited him to fourth and seventh-place finishes. He rebounded at Barber Motorsports Park, securing pole position and a dominant wire-to-wire victory in the opening race by pulling away after an early restart. Later in the season, he added a hard-fought win in the first race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, holding off challengers in a chaotic finish following multiple restarts. These results, combined with frequent podiums at venues like Road America and Mid-Ohio, positioned Jones atop the standings entering the finale.[29][30][31] The championship battle intensified late in the year, with Jones fending off strong challenges from Zach Veach, who notched multiple wins including the Laguna Seca finale, and Santiago Urrutia, whose four victories kept the points fight tight. Entering the final doubleheader at Laguna Seca with a seven-point lead over Urrutia, Jones started from pole in the opener but settled for second, extending his advantage. In the decisive second race, he advanced to fourth on the last lap—assisted by a teammate's defensive effort—to clinch the title by a margin of two points, tallying 363 in total. Carlin also secured the teams' championship.[32][28][33] As the Indy Lights champion, Jones qualified as a series graduate, earning a $1 million scholarship to guarantee at least three starts in the premier IndyCar Series the following year. This achievement marked a pivotal step in his transition to top-tier American open-wheel racing.[28]

IndyCar Series

Jones entered the NTT IndyCar Series in 2017 after winning the Indy Lights championship in 2016, which secured him a full-season ride with Dale Coyne Racing.[34] As a rookie, he competed in all 17 races, earning 354 points and finishing 14th in the drivers' championship while claiming the Sunoco Rookie of the Year award for his consistent performances, including five top-10 finishes.[35][36] In 2018, Jones advanced to Chip Ganassi Racing for a full 17-race schedule, where he improved to 13th in points with 343 points scored, highlighted by two podium finishes—third at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and third in Race 2 at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix—along with eight top-10 results overall.[37][38] His best non-oval finish that year was the third at Long Beach, demonstrating adaptability on road courses despite challenges adapting to the team's setup early in the season.[39] Jones shifted to a partnership between Ed Carpenter Racing and Scuderia Corsa for 2019, running 13 races primarily on ovals and select road courses, where he finished 20th in points with 217 points.[40] He showed strength on oval tracks, achieving multiple top-15 finishes and contributing to the team's competitive oval program, though limited funding restricted him to a partial schedule.[41] After sitting out the 2020 season due to funding issues, Jones returned in 2021 to Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser Sullivan for a near-full 16-race campaign, ending 19th in points with 233 points.[42] His season included several top-15 results, with a standout drive from 26th to sixth at the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, marking one of his strongest performances amid ongoing budgetary constraints.[43][44] Over his IndyCar career spanning 63 starts from 2017 to 2021, Jones recorded zero wins but secured three podiums, including his 2017 Indianapolis 500 result, while facing persistent challenges securing consistent sponsorship to maintain a full-time seat beyond mid-field teams.[45][38] These funding hurdles often limited his opportunities, leading to gaps in his series participation despite demonstrated speed and versatility across track types.[42]

Indianapolis 500 results

Ed Jones made his Indianapolis 500 debut in 2017 as a rookie, qualifying 11th and charging to a career-best third-place finish with Dale Coyne Racing, completing all 200 laps in the Dallara/Honda entry.[5][46] This podium marked the best result for a Dale Coyne Racing driver in the race's history up to that point and highlighted Jones' potential in his first IndyCar season.[5] In 2018, Jones qualified 29th for Chip Ganassi Racing but was involved in a crash on lap 57, resulting in a 31st-place finish after 57 laps in the Dallara/Honda.[5][47] The following year, 2019, saw a strong qualifying effort with a fourth-place start for Ed Carpenter Racing, though he finished 13th after running all 200 laps in the Dallara/Chevrolet.[5][48] Jones returned to the event in 2021 with Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan, starting 11th but finishing 28th after completing 199 laps and running.[5][49] Across four starts, he has one podium, one top-10 finish, and total earnings of $1,307,368 from the race.[5]

European touring and endurance racing

DTM

In December 2019, Ed Jones was confirmed as one of the drivers for the WRT Team Audi Sport in the 2020 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) season, initially partnering Fabio Scherer in the Audi RS 5 DTM, with Ferdinand Habsburg later added to the team's three-car lineup.[50][51] This marked Jones's planned entry into touring car racing following three seasons in the IndyCar Series, where his road course experience was anticipated to aid his adaptation to the DTM's demanding circuits.[51] Jones impressed during the DTM young drivers test at Circuit de Jerez in December 2019, posting competitive lap times and demonstrating quick acclimatization to the Audi RS 5 DTM, a significant shift from the open-wheel cars he had raced previously due to its heavier weight, enclosed cockpit, and distinct handling characteristics.[52] The test highlighted his potential in the series's Class 1 silhouette touring car format, though the transition posed challenges in adjusting to the car's aerodynamics and tire management compared to IndyCar machinery.[53] However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted Jones's DTM debut; stranded in Dubai amid global travel restrictions, he missed the pre-season test at Hockenheim in March 2020, which was ultimately cancelled.[54] The series itself faced a delayed start, with its calendar revised in March to begin in August at Spa-Francorchamps after postponing the original March opener and cancelling several early rounds.[55] Unable to join the team in Europe, Jones was replaced by Harrison Newey for the full season in July 2020, preventing him from competing in any DTM events.[56]

FIA World Endurance Championship

In 2022, Ed Jones transitioned from the IndyCar Series to endurance racing, joining Jota Sport for a part-time campaign in the FIA World Endurance Championship's LMP2 class. Driving the #28 Oreca 07-Gibson alongside Danish rookie Oliver Rasmussen and South African Jonathan Aberdein, Jones participated in five of the season's six rounds, marking his debut in the series' multi-hour format that emphasized stamina, strategy, and co-driver synergy over single-seater sprint racing.[57][58] The lineup gelled quickly, with Jones leveraging his single-seater experience to adapt to prototype endurance demands, while Rasmussen's single-seater background and Aberdein's GT experience complemented the team's efforts. Their season highlights included a fifth-place class finish at the Sebring 1000 Miles opener, followed by podium results at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and the 6 Hours of Fuji.[57][59] At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the trio delivered a strong third-place LMP2 finish—seventh overall—after battling through reliability challenges and intense competition among 23 prototypes, contributing to Jota's 1-3 class sweep.[60][61] Jones and his teammates wrapped the year with a seventh in LMP2 at the 8 Hours of Bahrain, helping secure eighth in the FIA Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Drivers with 70 points overall. This campaign underscored Jones' versatility in shifting to shared-drive endurance events, where his IndyCar-honed precision aided in consistent stints amid variable weather and traffic management.[59][62]

24 Hours of Le Mans

Ed Jones made his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2022 as part of the FIA World Endurance Championship season with JOTA Sport, driving the #28 Oreca 07-Gibson in the LMP2 class alongside teammates Oliver Rasmussen and Jonathan Aberdein.[63] The British driver, transitioning from his IndyCar background, joined the effort as a FIA WEC novice.[64] The #28 entry started from 18th on the LMP2 grid after posting a best test day time of 3:34.118 in preseason running.[65] During the 24-hour endurance test at Circuit de la Sarthe, the team navigated intense competition, completing 368 laps to secure third place in LMP2—12 laps behind sister car #38, which claimed class victory.[66] Key highlights included overnight stints under challenging visibility conditions, where Rasmussen and Aberdein contributed strong performances to maintain position, while strategy focused on efficient pit stops to manage fuel and tyres amid rising temperatures.[67] Jones handled multiple night and dawn shifts, emphasizing the race's demanding physical and mental toll. Jones has not returned to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in subsequent years through 2025.[68] Reflecting on the event's prestige as the pinnacle of endurance racing, Jones highlighted the team's collective effort in achieving a podium debut, underscoring Le Mans' unique status in motorsport history.[1]

Sports car and stock car racing

IMSA SportsCar Championship

Jones debuted in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2021, competing part-time in the GTD class with Scuderia Corsa aboard a Ferrari 488 GT3, including the Rolex 24 at Daytona.[69] In 2022, he transitioned to the LMP2 class with High Class Racing in select events, achieving a podium third place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (covered in the European endurance racing section).[4] Jones made his full-season debut in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2023 with High Class Racing, competing in the LMP2 class aboard the No. 20 Oreca 07 Gibson. Teamed primarily with Dennis Andersen, along with Anders Fjordbach and Raffaele Marciello for select endurance events, he helped the squad achieve consistent top-10 finishes across all 11 races. The effort culminated in 6th place in the LMP2 drivers' standings with 1605 points.[70] At the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona, Jones and his co-drivers completed 646 laps to secure 8th in LMP2, demonstrating strong reliability despite challenges.[71] The team followed with an 8th-place class result at the 12 Hours of Sebring, where Jones briefly led the category before penalties from a fuel sensor issue dropped them back.[72] Jones' prior experience in the FIA World Endurance Championship facilitated his transition to the demands of American prototype endurance racing, including multi-class battles and varying track conditions in the WeatherTech series. His 2023 campaign highlighted adaptability, with the team scoring points in every outing and contributing to High Class Racing's 8th place in the LMP2 team standings.[73] In 2024 and 2025, Jones competed part-time in the GTD class with Ed Carpenter Racing's Scuderia Corsa entry in a Ferrari 296 GT3, focusing on endurance events such as the Rolex 24 at Daytona. As of November 2025, no additional IMSA starts beyond key endurance races have been announced.[74]

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

Ed Jones made his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut on March 25, 2023, at Circuit of the Americas, piloting the No. 20 Chevrolet for Young's Motorsports.[75] Starting from the 23rd position in a field of 36 trucks, his race ended prematurely on lap 2 due to a left-rear suspension failure that caused a tire rub and stalled the vehicle in Turn 15, resulting in a 36th-place finish.[76] This mechanical issue marked Jones' only start in the series up to the end of the 2025 season, with no additional appearances announced or completed.[77] Transitioning from open-wheel and sports car racing, Jones faced the challenge of adapting to the heavier, more rigid handling characteristics of stock cars on a demanding road course like COTA, which required adjustments in braking and cornering aggression compared to his prior experience.[78] His background in IMSA SportsCar Championship road course events provided some familiarity with the track layout, aiding his preparation despite the unfamiliar vehicle dynamics.[79]

NASCAR Xfinity Series

In 2024, Ed Jones competed in a part-time schedule for Sam Hunt Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving Toyota Supra entries on road courses.[80] His season began with a debut at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) on March 23, where he piloted the No. 24 to a 35th-place finish after an accident on lap 16.[81] Jones followed with a strong performance at Portland International Raceway on June 1, starting 17th in the No. 24 and advancing through the field to finish fifth, aided by late-race cautions that allowed aggressive restarts.[7] His third start came at Sonoma Raceway on June 8, driving the No. 26 to a 15th-place result after starting 17th.[82] He made a fourth appearance at Watkins Glen International on September 14, starting 37th in the No. 26 and finishing 24th.[83] The fifth-place finish at Portland marked Jones' career-best result and his first top-10 in NASCAR, coming in just his second Xfinity start and building on his prior Truck Series debut at COTA in 2023 for initial exposure to stock car racing.[7] Transitioning from open-wheel disciplines like IndyCar and Formula 3, where precise handling and aerodynamics dominate, Jones noted the steeper learning curve in stock cars, particularly in gauging aggression during restarts and close-quarters battling. "I’m still learning how aggressive to be," he reflected post-Portland, emphasizing the need for a more forceful approach compared to his prior series.[84] He credited the Sam Hunt Racing team's setup for enabling his progress, stating, "For the last two restarts, it was all about going full attack," which helped him climb from mid-pack to the top five despite limited practice time.[7] As of November 2025, Jones has no confirmed schedule for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series.
