MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 3, 2021) - Conner Jones will make his debut in JR Motorsports' No. 88 Chevrolet this weekend in the CARS Tour's VisitHampton.com 125 at Langley (Va.) Speedway.
The 15-year-old Fredericksburg, Va. native has competed in all five Late Model Stock Car events so far this season on the CARS Tour, with his best finish an 11th in the March 6 season opener at Dillon (S.C.) Motor Speedway. It is his second season in LMSC after starting his career in U.S. Legend Cars.
Earlier this season, the young driver competed in the annual World Series of Asphalt Racing at New Smyrna Speedway, winning two Late Model races and nearly a third. Jones also made his ARCA Menards Series East debut at the Nashville (Tenn.) Fairgrounds Speedway, driving the same GMS Racing machine in which Sam Mayer- who will debut in JRM's No. 8 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series later this month--won five races and the series championship in 2020. Jones finished fourth on the big .596-mile oval in the heart of Music City.
