It’s homecoming weekend for Brandon Jones, as the Atlanta, Ga. native returns home for the NXS event at Atlanta. This weekend is also homecoming for crew chief Phillip Bell, who hails from Senoia, Ga.
Over the course of 11 starts at his home track, Jones has earned one top-five and three top-10 finishes, with a best finish of fourth at this race in 2019.
This weekend’s race will be Jones’ second career start at Atlanta with Atlas Roofing on the hood.
In four starts on the new configuration at Atlanta, Jones has a best finish of seventh, which came in the spring of 2022, the first event on the new pavement and layout at the 1.54-mile speedway.
Brandon Jones
“It’s always great to head back to my home track in Atlanta. Coming off a strong finish in Daytona, I am hoping we can keep the momentum going this weekend. This new pavement requires a different style of racing, and JRM always builds great cars for it. Hopefully we can keep the nose clean on our Menards/Atlas Roofing Chevrolet and be in contention to battle for the win under the lights Saturday night.”
