Youth Movement: Teenager Erik Jones Wins Truck Series Championship

By Aaron Burns It’s easy to forget that Erik Jones doesn’t turn 20 until next May.

But Jones’ run to the Truck Series title did more than confirm his legitimacy as a top driver. Jones also became the youngest champion in the Truck Series’ 20-year history on Nov. 20.
