Erik Jones Struggling to Find Speed at Iowa
6 months agoWe're on to the 17th race of NASCAR Cup Series season and, yet again, the Legacy Motor Club Toyotas are slow. In practice on Friday, Erik Jones was the slowest car on the race track (23.864), which was over a full second slower than Noah Gragson, who posted the fastest lap (22.828 seconds). Jones ended up picking up the pace a little bit it in qualifying and will roll off the grid from the 32nd-place starting spot for Sunday night's Iowa Corn 350 Presented by Ethanol. As far as fantasy upside goes, Jones will likely be able to improve throughout the race through attrition, so he's a viable low-dollar DFS option at $6,400 on DraftKings. Still, it's nowhere near guaranteed that the No. 43 Toyota has any legitimate speed in it.
