"I've realized that winning goes beyond hoisting trophies over my head. It's also about helping others and supporting the issues I am passionate about." - Erik Jones
Erik Jones is a 27-year-old professional racecar driver. Hailing from Byron, Mich., Jones currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series as the driver of the iconic No. 43 Toyota made legendary by Richard Petty “The King” for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB.
NASCAR Record Breaker
At the age of 19, Jones wasted no time rewriting NASCAR history. In 2015, he captured his first NASCAR Truck Series Championship and Rookie of the Year honors and still holds the record as the series’ youngest champion at 19 years, 5 months and 21 days.
Jones moved up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series for the 2016 season, also winning Rookie of the Year honors. In 2017, Jones won his third straight Rookie of the Year honor, this time in the NASCAR Cup Series, becoming the first driver in NASCAR history to win the award in all three national touring series.
NASCAR Triumphs & Charity
Jones has scored key victories at two of NASCAR’s most prestigious tracks and toughest races. His first NASCAR Cup Series victory came in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on July 7, 2018 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, as he battled back from a lap down taking the lead on the final lap for the win.
He also scored two victories in the prestigious Southern 500 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway – his first in 2019 and again in 2022. Jones’s family values and passion for giving back drove him to establish the Erik Jones Foundation (EJF) in 2021.
