Erik Jones is enjoying his first season with Richard Petty Motorsports and grades himself on the job he’s done as the driver. Jones joins the show this week to also discuss getting used to being a one-car team; simulator time and how that’s changed for him from the past; having a more personal relationship with the Petty team; working with a new manufacturer; the normalcy of not having practice and qualifying; being able to do more at home with more free days; but what a week looks like for Jones; the different perspective he has this year; getting back to basics and out of the spotlight; how Jones has grown in the last year; bonding with a team of ‘true racers’; if the 43 team would be further along with more practice and qualifying; if RPM fans should be pleased by how the season is going; the dedication of Petty fans; experiences that come with being a Petty driver; how ‘Read with Erik’ came about. Music created by Tony Monge.
