WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Erik Jones is moving on up, and Toyota is providing him with a deluxe ride in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.Jones, the 2015 Camping World Truck Series champion and currently the top-seeded driver in this years Xfinity Series Chase grid with three race wins, will drive the No. 77 Toyota for Furniture Row Racing in the Cup Series in 2017 with sponsorship from 5-Hour Energy.The 20-year old from Byron, Michigan, is one of stock car racings fastest rising stars, graduating to the Cup Series after spending just one full season in each of NASCARs national series.Im excited and anxious at the same time, Jones said. Its a good fit all around. To see it all come together over the last month or so has been a pretty cool experience for me. Ive got a lot to do this year yet, but definitely excited for next year.Jones made three Cup Series starts in 2015 for Toyota teams in a substitute role. He qualified in the top 12 each time, but his average finish was 23.6.It was a big learning curve for me doing those few Cup races, Jones said. I always felt like we had decent speed, but a lot of it was putting a whole race together -- all the little things you would call special teams, I guess -- green flag stops and making sure youre hitting all those things right was the hardest thing for me.Its a big jump going from a field where 10 or 12 cars can win to a field where 20 cars can win, and all those guys are extremely talented, he added. Its definitely going to be tough, but I think Im in the best situation to succeed.ddddddddddddFurniture Row Racing owner Barney Visser said the team will attempt to gain a NASCAR charter for the No. 77 rather than competing as an open entry.Were very excited to have all the components of a second race team come together, he said.

In 2015, it recruited FRR and driver Martin Truex Jr. into the fold while creating a technical alliance with its flagship team, Joe Gibbs Racing.Toyota also has supported and groomed a group of young drivers, including Jones, William Byron and Christopher Bell.It was less than four years ago that Erik Jones, famously now, beat Kyle Busch in the Snowball Derby Super Modified race, Toyota Racing Development president David Wilson said. Next year, for him to ascend to the Cup Series with Furniture Row Racing is a spectacular story and Toyota is the fortunate and common denominator in that equation.This is the first time a Toyota driver has grown from the grass-roots ranks all the way through NASCARs national series. Its a great story for Toyota, but probably a greater story for NASCAR and the future of our sport. ' ' '
