Brandon Jones back in the No. 19 JGR Xfinity ride for 2019

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C – Joe Gibbs Racing announced today that NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Brandon Jones will be back behind the wheel of the No. 19 Toyota in 2019.

After his first full season at JGR and third complete Xfinity Series season, Jones is ready to carry substantial momentum into 2019. He earned career-high stats in 2018 with two top-five and 17 top-10 finishes, winning a pole and leading 173 laps. He also qualified for the NXS playoffs and finished ninth in the 2018 driver points standings.

Along with his strong debut at JGR, Jones will be teamed up with a new crew chief, Jeff Meendering. Jones and the No. 19 Team will draw from Meendering’s experience and leadership and will be strong, consistent and positioned to challenge for the 2019 Xfinity Series Championship.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our 19 team and the huge strides and experience we gained last year,” Brandon Jones said. “There is no doubt it was a big team effort and I am very excited about being back at Joe Gibbs Racing this season. With the addition of our new crew chief Jeff Meendering and his leadership, we should be in the mix every weekend competing for a championship. I am really fortunate to have partners like Menards and Juniper Networks returning this season and their support means the world to me.”

Additional sponsorship for Brandon Jones and JGR’s No. 19 Xfinity Series Toyota Supra will be announced soon.
