Erik Jones to race full-time in Xfinity, part-time in Cup in 2016

Erik Jones, currently a full-time Camping World Truck Series driver, will driver a full-time Xfinity Series schedule next year, as well as a few races in the Sprint Cup Series. Jones has already won two Xfinity races this year splitting time between Joe Gibbs' #20 and #54 Toyotas. JGR's current Xfinity lineup consists of various drivers in the #20 and #54 cars, primarily Kyle Busch in the #54 and Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin in the #20, plus rookie Daniel Suarez full-time in the #18 car. The four JGR Cup drivers this year are Hamlin (#11), Busch (#18), Carl Edwards (#19) and Matt Kenseth (#20). Jones will likely drive a part-time fifth Cup car for the JGR team.
