“It was good. We had a really fast car," said Jones. "Our Craftsman Camry was I think a car that could have contended for the win. We just struggled on pit road. We lost a lot of spots and it just took a long time to get them back. That long green run helped us at the win and we were able to pick them up and get back towards the front, but not enough time. Good car. Just got to keep working and keep getting closer."
Erik Jones still has something to chase despite being eliminated and that is to earn his career-best points finish. In 2017, Jones finished 19th in the standings and after Sunday's race in Kansas, he sits 14th with four races remaining in the season. Jones has ground to make up in these next races in order to net the No. 20 another top-10 place finish in the standings which would be the third straight for the No. 20 car. (Koelle,2018)
