LOOKING BACK: The Jones’ Winning Legacy Continues

EDITOR’S NOTE: With a lack of racing on-track due to the recent coronavirus pandemic around the globe, SPEED SPORT is digging into the archives and reflecting on races from the past.

Today, we look back on the 2019 NAPA Auto Parts/ENEOS 150 at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif., which marked the first win for third-generation driver Jagger Jones.

ROSEVILLE, Calif. – Jagger Jones finally sealed the deal on Oct. 12, 2019, earning his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series West victory at All American Speedway.

“It feels awesome,” said Jones, the grandson of Indianapolis 500 winner Parnelli Jones. “Just how close we’ve gotten, I’ve been close multiple times from the first race we did to this last one, to finally get the first one just feels so special, so awesome.

“This is what racers live for.”

With two runner-up finishes and five top fives coming into the 12th event of the season, confidence was still high for the Scottsdale, Ariz., native.

He knew his victory was on the way.

“I never really doubted,” he said. “It was more when the first win is going to come, not if.”

Jones led the final 96 laps of the race after assuming the top spot from championship leader Derek Kraus, who suffered a flat tire while leading and fell off the lead lap.

Hailie Deegan rebounded from an early-race spin in the first 30 laps to come home second for the first time this season and third time in her career.

The spin did not cause a caution flag to wave, dropping her to last in the running order as she then worked her way through the field.

Jones’ Sunrise Ford teammate Trevor Huddleston came home third for the second race in a row, while Kraus rebounded to finish fourth, his ninth top five of the 2019 season.

Coming off his season-best second-place run at Meridian, Todd Souza completed the top five.

The finish:

Jagger Jones, Hailie Deegan, Trevor Huddleston, Derek Kraus, Todd Souza, Brittney Zamora, Buddy Shepherd, Travis Milburn, Derrick Doering, Keith McGee, Bridget Burgess, Dylan Garner, Takuma Koga, John Wood, Josh Fanopoulos, Jack Wood.
