"Our partnership with JGR continues to provide a tremendous platform to engage with our retailers and consumers," states President Mark Reser. "We can't wait to see what Erik Jones accomplishes this season behind the wheel of our No. 20 Toyota Camry and we'll be waiting to celebrate with him in victory lane."
