  "account": "Brandon Jones has agreed to return to Joe Gibbs Racing for the 2027 NASCAR O Reilly Series season. In a statement earlier this month, the organization confirmed that Jones will drive the No. 20 car full-time. Jones' 2026 season has been challenging, as he currently sits 11th in the standings, trailing championship leader Sheldon Creed by 114 points. With only one win, six top-5 finishes, and 15 top-10 finishes to his name, Jones is unlikely to challenge for the championship title once again. Despite his lack of elite speed, Jones remains committed to the 2027 NASCAR season. Alongside fellow drivers Taylor Gray, Brent Crews, and William Sawalich, Jones looks forward to another campaign for the organization.",
