He filled in for the injured Kyle Busch at the Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway in early May, where he finished fortieth … Jones is not scheduled to compete in Saturday’s Zippo 200 X-FINITY Series road-course race at Watkins Glen International. Veteran Boris Said will drive instead, in the Number-54 Toyota.
