Erik Jones DROPS A SHOCKING MESSAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO TEAM/FANS........

“I have no intention of leaving my role there,” Jones said Wednesday at Daytona 500 Media Day. “I’d love to continue that. But it is definitely a crazy year. There’s a lot of things happening. There’s a lot of things in motion, I guess, already probably for people, not really for me. I’m excited to see. The pressure is on myself from within, right? There’s no pressure from the outside, in my opinion. It’s pressure from me trying to perform.

“I want to run well. I want to win races. I think if you can do that, the rest of the things are going to come with it, what you want to do. You’ll have as many choices as you want. Hopefully that’s the case.”

Contract negotiations went late into last season for Jones. He re-signed with JGR on Sept. 6, five days after claiming his second career Cup Series win with a triumph in the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
