Breaking news: Erik Jones 1-on-1: On Darlington prowess, coming back from injury and pending fatherhood

You take the superspeedways out of the question, if I had to pick one track, Darlington is probably high on that list. I enjoy it a lot, obviously have had success there in the Cup Series, and I’ve always run well there regardless. It’s a great opportunity to try to go and win our way in. The 500 has been a good race for me. It’s very different from the [400-mile] spring race with the way the track changes through the night, the way the race kind of plays out, that extra distance adds a little bit in as well. I love racing at Darlington, and it’s definitely always been one of my favorite tracks.Maybe some at this point. It’s obviously getting late in the year. We’re at the point now, you’d like to have things done or know that they’re not going to be done. I definitely would have probably a little bit more [angst] at that point to go out and perform. I felt pretty good about getting things done again with Legacy beforehand and what we’ve been building over the last two years. But it’s definitely just nice to have it out of the way. You don’t have to mess with it for a little while now. It’s never fun, at least not for me. I don’t know if some people enjoy it, but I’ve never been a big fan of trying to go through all the negotiations. It’s never a super fun thing. Yeah, I think things got probably taken out of context a bit. I wouldn’t say I’m unhappy at Legacy. That’s probably the wrong way to word it. Are we unhappy with our performance currently? Yeah, I think everybody would agree with that at our team. So definitely not unhappy at Legacy and with our group. I’ve been with the same 43 group for four years now and enjoy working with those guys and enjoy going to the track with them and trying to get better. But we’re working hard right now just to get our cars better, get our performance where we want it to be. But definitely was all good with being a Legacy for a while.
