Saturday will mark Jones’ third NXS season opener with Swiffer on the hood. Swiffer is the first of 26 different hood partners that will be featured over the course of the season.

Brandon Jones

“I’m really looking forward to getting this season under way with this No. 9 Menards/Swiffer Chevrolet team. The entire team has been putting in a lot of work during the offseason and I am getting this feeling that I just haven’t had in a long time. We learned a lot last year and with Phillip Bell as my crew chief I think everyone will see a whole different year pop up.”
