It\u2019s a little intense when you\u2019ve got a guy like that running you down for 15 laps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a pretty long talk about racing people the way you want to be raced. I\u2019ve never been one to want to move somebody to win a race, and he hasn\u2019t, either. It\u2019s nice to see that respect, especially from a veteran like that to me. It\u2019s not something he had to do. It means a lot to me that he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones raced to his second series victory of the year and fifth in 32 career starts.

I felt a couple of times it was kind of scratchy on the downshift, but no sign it was going to be bad. As soon as I put third gear on the back straight, it just went. I put it in fourth and it just kind of limped all the way back home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOWMANVILLE, Ontario \u2013 Erik Jones won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Sunday at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":60463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[35],"class_list":["post-60462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-original","mauthors-the-associated-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60462"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60462\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281373,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60462\/revisions\/281373"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
