Making his mark in the Camping World Truck Series, Erik Jones has set his sights on getting back into victory lane. Despite being unable to find victory lane this year, Jones has four top-three finishes and leads the Camping World Truck Series in several stats, including: average running position (3.2), average start (3.2), number of fastest laps (239), laps led (328) and driver rating (125.6).

With truck after truck pulling to the inside of the 1.5-mile Kansas oval over the last five laps with empty fuel cells, Crafton cruised over the finish line with only a few drops of fuel left in his ThorSport Racing Toyota Tundra. Continue reading →

Setting Himself Apart, Teenage Prodigy Erik Jones Is Sports’ Latest Rising Star 

Young athletes have been the talk of the sports world the last week.

Notably, 21-year-old golf phenom Jordan Spieth won The Masters and 22-year-old NBA All Star Anthony Davis put his New Orleans Pelicans team in contention for a Western Conference Playoff berth. Even 23-year-old baseball player Mike Trout, already a three-time All Star and winner of the 2014 American League MVP award, kicked off his season in the sport in which he is widely recognized as the best player.
