Jones is in his first full season in the XFINITY Series. The 19-year-old Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate ranks fourth in the series standings with three top 10s through the series’ first five races.
The scheme’s running coincides with the opening week of the Major League Baseball season. A tripleheader of games kicks off the season this Sunday, April 3, with the traditional “Opening Day” for most of the other teams on Monday afternoon.
Texas Motor Speedway is located in Fort Worth, Texas, while the Texas Rangers play in nearby Arlington.
