Conner Jones provided his explanation on a post-race scuffle involving himself and Parker Eatmon that occurred immediately following the conclusion of the CARS Tour race at Langley.

On the final lap of the race, Jones was running in eighth and had been battling Kade Brown for the position. However, he ended up crossing the line in 11th behind Eatmon, Buddy Isles Jr. and Brown.

Following the race, Jones, who did not take his helmet off, confronted Eatmon as he was still exiting his car.

Speaking to FrontStretch about the altercation, Jones denied that he went after Eatmon, “I wouldn’t necessarily call me going after him. I just went up to talk to him and he grabbed me. So stuff kind of happens.”

He then went on to explain why he confronted Eatmon, “He drove into my left rear down there one lap. And I got back to him, gave it back to him down here, and I thought the slate was good and come the last couple of laps he just — he had to be in the grass because I was two [tires] on the apron and just drove through me and whoever was on my outside, [Carson Loftin] or Kade [Brown] or somebody. I don’t know. Then after the race, throttle stuck going down the straightaway and that’s why I got into Kade.”

When asked if he planned to talk to Eatmon, Jones replied, “It’s hard to when it’s never his fault, right?”

Eatmon also spoke to FrontStretch and said, “We got back going after the rain delay and I got to him and passed him pretty cleanly for Langley, I would say. He drove in there over his head and put me to the third lane in 3 and 4. So I kind of just bided my time and waited until the end of the race. And I got back to him with about 2 to go, got into his door, drove right around him, and finished eighth. He wasn’t too happy about it. But it’s typical Conner Jones. We’ll move on to Dominion in two weeks.”
