Erik Jones: Picks Up Top 10

Jones finished 10th in Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, his second Top 10 of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Analysis:

After a rough start to the season that saw Jones fail to record a Top 20 in the first three races, he's now picked up three of those in a row, including a pair of 10th-place results, over the past three races. Jones started 24th at Darlington and moved up in the first 100 laps before spinning after contact from Denny Hamlin. Still, he worked his way back up by the end of the race to grab the final spot in the Top 10. The Cup Series now heads to Martinsville, a track where he has just one Top 10 in 18 career starts.
