DARLINGTON, S.C. — No one who celebrated at Victory Lane on Sunday night would call this “redemption” for Erik Jones.
Not Petty GMS director of competition Joey Cohen. Not crew chief Dave Elenz. Not even Jones himself — the guy who found himself fist-pumping in front of a sea of confetti at Darlington Raceway, an achievement not many saw coming soon (or again at all) considering all he’s been through in the past 25 months.
But it certainly felt like redemption.
