NASCAR: Erik Jones Takes A Stand Against Austin Dillon at Michigan [Video]

Erik Jones has taken a definitive stand against Austin Dillon after his behavior at the Cook Out 400 where he intentionally crashed out two drivers. Competing full-time in the Cup series since 2017, Jones has amassed nearly 300 career starts but finds himself in a precarious position, ranked 27th in points.

Both he and fellow racer Dillon now face pressure to clinch outright wins to advance their standings, yet their approaches to racing could not be more different.

During a press conference on Saturday, Jones emphatically distanced himself from tactics he isn’t ready to use himself – something we’ve seen recently from Dillon.

“No. No, not a chance,” Jones stated, “I don’t race that way. I wouldn’t have done it. I can probably count – I honestly don’t know – less than five times that I’ve wrecked anyone intentionally in my entire career.
