Truck No. 30 history

[edit]

The team debuted at the 2015 Careers for Veterans 200 at Michigan International Speedway with Chad Finley driving the No. 30 Ford.[4] Although Finley would qualify 15th, he would be forced to start at the back due to a window net problem. He would quickly move up to 21st, but was unable to improve on that, and finished there 4 laps down. Finley would return for the American Ethanol E15 225 at Chicagoland Speedway, where he would qualify 16th and finish 21st 9 laps down.[5] The No. 30 would appear one more time in 2015 with team co-owner Terry Jones at the Fred's 250 at Talladega Superspeedway, but that time was a Chevrolet truck. Although the team would qualify 25th, they would crash after completing 35 laps and be eliminated, placing 31st.[6]

In 2016, the team returned at Charlotte with Jesse Little behind the wheel of the No. 30 Toyota Tundra but after performing well in practice, the qualify was rained out and set by Owners' points, so the team failed to qualify. So the team attempted the following race at Texas, but now with the No. 81, after made a partnership with Hattori Racing Enterprises and finished 19th.

The team would return in 2017 in a one-off attempt at the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway with Terry Jones driving the No. 30 Ford, again. The team would manage to make the race qualifying 24th, but would get caught in The Big One on lap 4 and place 25th.[7]

ARCA Menards Series

[edit]

Car No. 30 history

[edit]

Before the team's founding in 2015, Terry Jones had been fielding cars in the ARCA Racing Series since 2003, usually for himself, in around 4-8 races each year, and the team was called Jones Group Racing. Bob Blount, Chad Blount and Jesse Smith also had driven for Jones. The team had 6 Top 5 and 12 Top 10 in 64 races between 2003 and 2013.[9]

Rette Jones Racing made the series debut at Daytona with Terry Jones behind the wheel of the No. 30 Toyota as usual and finished 19th. He also ran at Talladega, where he finished 16th.

In 2016, Corey Deuser made his series debut at the Herr's Potato Chips 200 at Winchester Speedway driving the No. 30 Ford Fusion, he would start in 7th, but the team would suffer a clutch issue relegating them to a 17th-place finish.[10] Rette Jones would return with Clair Zimmerman behind the wheel of the No. 30 Ford at Berlin Raceway for the Berlin ARCA 200, where he would finish 6th upon starting 12th.[11] Terry Jones once again drove at Daytona and Talladega and crashed in both of them, with a season-best finish of 28th at Talladega.

In 2017, Terry Jones returned at Daytona, in the No. 30 Toyota, he led 25 laps and finished 2nd, the best finish ever of the team in the ARCA Series. Jones returned at Talladega, driving the No. 33 Toyota in a partnership with Win-Tron Racing but he blew the engine in the early laps and finished last.

In 2018, Grant Quinlan would drive in a one-off attempt the No. 30 Ford, at the Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona International Speedway. The team would start 24th, but finish 37th after an engine problem.[12]

In 2019, Quinlan would return driving a Ford at Daytona, as well as Talladega for the General Tire 200. Quinlan would perform very well at both events, scoring top 10's in both and a top 5 at Daytona.[13]

In 2020, Dominique Van Wieringen ran the season-opener, crashing out for 25th.

In 2021, the team had attempted more than half of the season, drivers like ARCA Menards Series West graduate Brittney Zamora, late model driver Cole Williams, Mexican ARCA Menards Series East full-timer Max Gutiérrez, road course ringer Kris Wright, United States Auto Club Midget standout Adam Lemke, and dirt track star Landen Lewis.

In 2022, Amber Balcaen ran for the team full-time, finishing 7th in series points. On January 11, 2023, it was announced that actor Frankie Muniz would be replacing Balcaen, with the team upgrading their cars from Ford Fusions to Mustangs. [14]
