Toyota Racing - NXS Roval Post-Race Report - 10.10.20

BRANDON JONES, No. 19 Toyota Service Centers Toyota Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing - Finishing Position: 10th - What a crazy race. What was it like from your seat? - “I was hopeful of some dry, because we did a ton of testing at the TRD sim this week on wet and dry. I got really good at running on the dry, so I was hopeful of that. Obviously with the rain, I went to conserve mode. That’s kind of where I stayed. I slowly, slowly worked up to getting a little more throttle in areas that other cars were beating us in. I think by the end of the race, I was really confident in my Supra. The only issue I have with the rain is the visibility – not being able to see very well, but that is what other people were fighting at the same time.”

 

Congrats on moving on to the Round of 8, which features some great tracks for you. What are you focused on as we go into Kansas Speedway?

“I think that’s really awesome. That is what I wanted to do. Get through this one. I knew it was going to be a little bit of a challenge with Talladega and this, but we overcame that and we’ve honestly overcome a lot this year. That’s exactly what we needed to do. Texas is coming up. We’ve always ran so good at Texas. I would love to win at that race track. That’s one that fits my personality, fits my driving style. We’ve been close there. I want to get in Victory Lane for sure there. We’ve got Kansas too. We go there – I feel like we could win both of those race and go to Phoenix with a shot to win there too.”
