Biography

Building on a foundation of proven championship-level performance, this Arizona desert racing standout continues to make his mark in SCORE's most competitive divisions. At just 22 years old, Jones helped pilot the #242 TSCO Chevy to a commanding victory in the Trophy Truck Spec class at the prestigious 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500 in 2018, co-driving with veteran Bryce Swaim to claim the top spot in one of desert racing's most celebrated events.

The Litchfield Park native's breakthrough performance at the golden anniversary Baja 500 showcased his ability to navigate the brutal 542-mile course through Baja California's unforgiving terrain. Racing alongside Swaim, Jones demonstrated the mental toughness and technical skill required to overcome treacherous silt beds, navigate complex bottlenecks, and maintain race pace across varying desert conditions that claimed numerous competitors.

His success in the Trophy Truck Spec division, featuring unlimited trucks with sealed stock engines, highlights his adaptability in one of SCORE's most competitive classes. Jones represents the next generation of desert racing talent, combining youthful determination with championship-caliber results in events that have challenged racers for over five decades.
