Erik Jones: Fifth-Place at Talladega

Jones finished fifth in the YellaWood 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Jones was the unlikely face among the Top 5 Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. The Legacy Motor Club veteran would claim his best finish of the season with a good performance in the YellaWood 500. Jones would start deep in the field and even get some damage from the big one. However, Jones would rally during overtime and hold off Christopher Bell to claim the impressive fifth-place finish at Talladega. It was his first Top 5 of the season.
