Jones will pay tribute to Jordan who helped guide him to early wins in his legends car racing days at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Summer Shootout. With Jordan’s guidance, Jones went from struggling around the ¼ mile track during the 2019 season to scoring multiple top fives, top tens, and a single victory.
