While Erik Jones has been nowhere near as slow as he was in 2023 and 2024, he's still been little more than a mid-packer this year and he hasn't been particularly known for his short track prowess especially after Joe Gibbs Racing fired him. That Jones Boi used to be strong at some short tracks (especially Bristol) at JGR, but Richmond was not one of them as he has never finished better than sixth or led a single lap, although he did finish fourth on track in 2019 before being disqualified. In the No. 43 car, he has been significantly slower on all short tracks and when you consider that he wasn't good here even then and he actually qualified pretty well in 18th, he's a pretty bad choice for DFS play.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
