Jones expressed 'deep regret' after he let his frustrations boil over into a violent crash during Saturday's NASCAR Truck Series race at Homestead.
Conner Jones, 18 years old, was making his 22nd career start on Saturday when he reacted poorly to some aggressive racing from rival Matt Mills. While battling for 17th in the Homestead Truck race, Jones got into the back of Mills. The tuck snapped hard to the right and slammed the wall, quickly erupting into flames. Mills emerged from the fiery wreck of his No. 42 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet under his own power after it came to a stop in the grass, resting against a tire barrier.
He declined to make comments to several members of the media after the race, but has since released the following statement: 'I have not yet had the chance to personally apologize to Matt for the incident that took place during today's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but I intend to do so. Matt and I have encountered several on-track incidents this season, and I let my frustration get the best of me.
