No. 19 Menards/Pentair Myers Toyota Supra News and Notes:
· JONES AT ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY: Brandon Jones and the No. 19 Menards team are heading to Jones’ home track at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. They are looking to rebound from Phoenix where Jones was wrecked late in the race after running in the top-five the majority of the laps. This has been a tough track for Jones in the past, but the last two races there have been top-10 finishes and Jones keeps getting stronger. With all the hard work, studying and strong Toyota Supras the 19 Toyota team believes they will be the team to beat there.

From the Cockpit:
Brandon Jones: ““It was a tough one at Phoenix. We had such a good Toyota Supra; we led laps and were running in the top-five when we got dumped. It wasn’t the finish our Toyota team deserved. That’s behind us now and our team is focused on a rebound at my home track, Atlanta Motor Speedway. We will have Menards and Pentair Myers on our Supra. With all the resources we have at our disposal I have a lot of confidence that you will see us fighting for the lead during the EchoPark 250. Atlanta Motor Speedway brings an old surface which makes saving tires a big part of the strategy. Our No. 19 Menards team has spent a lot of time preparing for Atlanta. We were able to put in a few hundred laps around the track using Toyota’s simulator. I think once we get our Supra dialed in, we will be the team you’ll see in victory lane”.
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
