Erik Jones will be back in the No. 43 Toyota Camry XSE after signing a multi-year contract extension with Legacy Motor Club.
The Cup Series team announced the contract extension on Tuesday ahead of Jones's return to his home track. The 28-year-old Michigan native will continue to lead the Legacy MC lineup for "2025 and beyond" while trying to get the organization back to victory lane.
"Erik is one of the most talented drivers in NASCAR. I've had the chance to race against him and have had a chance to watch him drive for other teams and the Club," said co-owner Jimmie Johnson in a statement. "I admire his talent and am glad we will have him race for us for the upcoming years.
"Erik will be a key to helping us turn our program around and we look forward to giving him the tools he needs to go out on Sundays and race for wins and eventually a championship someday."
Jones joined Legacy Motor Club -- then Richard Petty Motorsports -- ahead of the 2021 season. He took over the No. 43 as Bubba Wallace moved to 23XI Racing.
Jones remained with the organization as it became Petty GMS Racing and ultimately Legacy MC. He has continued to drive the No. 43 while delivering one win. He captured the 2022 Southern 500.
This win was the third of Jones's career. He also won the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona in 2018 and the Southern 500 at Darlington in 2019 while driving for Joe Gibbs Racing.
Along with winning at NASCAR's top level, Jones has achieved success in the other national series. He has won seven Craftsman Truck Series races. He also captured the 2015 Truck Series championship. He has nine Xfinity Series wins.
"I'm looking forward to what we can build at Legacy Motor Club," Jones said in a statement. "I've been with the No. 43 car for a handful of years and feel like I'm coming into some of the best years of my career. I am hoping to grow alongside Legacy MC in the seasons to come."
