Erik Jones: Test Next Gen Car
Jones is scheduled to drive the NASCAR Cup Series' Next Gen car in its third on-track test Wednesday and Thursday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, NASCAR.com reports.
Analysis:
Jones will join Austin Dillon and Joey Logano as drivers who have actively tested the new Next Gen car. This effort at Homestead will be the first time the new car has been tested on an oval 1.5-mile in size. The feedback gathered by Jones will help NASCAR to fine tune the Next Gen car for the intermediate ovals in the 2021 season.
