Erik Jones has had a fairly disastrous 2024 season, as he has failed to lead a lap, and his only top-10 finish came 27 races ago in the Daytona 500. Don't expect that to change at Watkins Glen, where Jones starts 25th. Although he did have two top-five finishes there with Joe Gibbs Racing, since moving to Richard Petty Motorsports/Legacy Motor Club, he has only posted three road-course top-10 finishes, and none of them have come since 2022, when his cars were a lot faster than they were this year. Jones hasn't run well anywhere this year, but his road-course performance has been even worse; his Austin race where he started 38th and finished 32nd resulted in his worst driver rating in a race he finished (30.8), and that happened before his injury at Talladega. Jones will almost certainly not contend.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
