Born in Torrance, California, Jones returns to his "hometown track". His first race was back in 1989 where he finished on the podium driving in the American Racing Series and third in the Toyota Pro-Celebrity Race. In 1990 he raced in both the American Racing Series and Indy Lights (also in 1991). In 1992 he was the overall winner of the Toyota Pro Celebrity Race. His return a few years later was to compete in Champ Car (CART) from 1997-1999 which saw his best finish of 11th in 1998.

Long Beach is one of my favorite races; it is the greatest street course in the world. I grew up 15-20 minutes from the circuit, so it is nice to have family and friends come out and have that "hometown" feel. I hope it will be the typical perfect California weather, as it is always a great event. Throughout my years of racing, I have had several opportunities to race at Long Beach. When I left Indy Car to join the NASCAR circuit, I remember thinking that I was really going to miss racing there. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to race there again, so coming back and competing in the American Le Mans Series driving the beautiful #98 JaguarRSR XKR GT is such a wonderful perk."
