NASCAR Camping World Truck Series star Erik Jones will be racing full-time in the NASCAR XFINITY Series next season in 2016.
Joe Gibbs, owner of Joe Gibbs Racing, went on "The Morning Drive" earlier today on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
"We look at Erik as a big part of our future," Gibbs said on the show. "and we've got a plan laid out and it's not something we've talked about in public, but we all kind of know inside of our racing organization, and with his parents and his agent, is just great. So we've talked over a plan, and basically the plan next year would be a full XFINITY season and try and run for a championship there and also to, in all likelihood, have him in some Cup races so that would be the next goal for next year.
Jones already ran one NASCAR Sprint Cup series race this season at Kansas Speedway for the Spongebob Squarepants 400, a 400-mile race, where he was filling in for the then-injured Kyle Busch.
