Brandon Jones will join Joe Gibbs Racing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2022.
Jones will return to the No. 19 Toyota team in 2022, with primary support from Menards, according to JGR. On the No. 19 team, Jeff Meendering will continue as crew chief.
Jones, 24, is in his fourth year with JGR and his sixth year racing in the Xfinity Series.
“Brandon provides a veteran driver presence in the Xfinity Series for us,” stated Joe Gibbs, team owner. “For the second year in a row, he has advanced to the final eight of the NASCAR playoffs, and now our goal is to move to the next round and compete for the championship in Phoenix.”
“We’re excited to have him back next season with the opportunity to represent Menards every week.”
Jones, who has four career wins in the series, has advanced to the semifinal round of the 2021 Xfinity playoffs after finishing in the top five 11 times and in the list of top 17 times this season.
“This has been a very strong season so far and I couldn’t be prouder of our No. 19 team,” Jones said. “It will be great to have Jeff Meendering back as my crew chief for the third consecutive year; his leadership is exactly what this team needs.
“I also realize how fortunate I am to have partners like Menards and Toyota; their support means the world to me. I couldn’t be more excited to have Menards return and more importantly, their support for the full season. It’s huge.
“I am thrilled to be back at Joe Gibbs Racing next season. Right now, I remain focused on our championship run and making it to Phoenix this year for a shot at the Xfinity Series title.”
