Erik Jones took the #20 Joe Gibbs Toyota to victory lane in the 300-mile Xfinity Series race in Fort Worth, Texas on Friday evening. It was Jones' first win in the series in just his ninth start, following a similar pattern set by last year's winner and defending series champion Chase Elliott. Jones, who is currently a full-time Camping World Truck Series driver piloting the #4 Toyota owned by Kyle Busch in an alliance with Gibbs, started the race on the pole and led 79 of 200 laps, a good fifth of the total race distance. Jones held of Brad Keselowski in the #22 Team Penske Ford, Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the #88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet and Darrell Wallace Jr. in the #6 Roush Racing Ford in the late stages of the race, which featured such incidents as Wallace's teammate Chris Buescher hitting the frontstretch wall just after the start, and Cale Conley getting caught up in a wreck with Brendan Gaughan.
