Legacy Motor Club Will Not Appeal Erik Jones' Martinsville Disqualification

Legacy Motor Club announced it will not appeal the disqualification of driver Erik Jones following the NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway, where his No. 43 Toyota Camry failed to meet minimum weight requirements. Although Jones initially finished 24th, he was placed last in the results, which also stripped him of stage points earned during the race. The team acknowledged the oversight and stated they are taking steps to prevent future violations, expressing regret to NASCAR, their partners, and fans. This incident has dropped Jones to 29th in the standings as he heads into the next race at Darlington. Despite the setback, Legacy Motor Club remains supportive of Jones, who recently signed a multi-year contract extension and is seen as a key driver for the team. The disqualification marks a challenging moment in a season where Jones has yet to secure a top-10 finish.
