Erik Jones Ends Up In 11th At Michigan
4 years agoJoe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones finished in 11th-place in Saturday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. The Byron, Michigan native showed some fight by quickly advancing through the field after starting 23rd. Jones drove like a fire was lit under him after getting the news that he would not return to the No. 20 in 2021. Jones got as high as third during the early stages but fell back around 10th-place towards the end. Still, this was a much-needed run for Jones' playoff hopes. Jones will start Sunday's Consumers Energy 400 in the 10th position. His cost in DFS is below-average, and while he doesn't have the position differential upside that he did on Saturday, Jones is a solid pick for Sunday's race.
