"Dover Downs is one of these tracks that I enjoy competing at because it fits my driving style. We lost laps very quickly during the race in May because I thought a tire was going flat, but I know that this team is capable of claiming a victory at this track." --Buckshot Jones, driver of the No.00 Bayer Aspirin / Alka-Seltzer Pontiac

Hunting season is just around the corner and Jones has been spending his free time at his family's farm in Monticello, Ga., getting it ready for deer season. "I've always said that when hunting season comes around, if I'm not in a race car, I'm in the woods hunting," said Jones. "I've already planned a few hunting trips at the end of the season and plan to spend my off weekends getting our farm ready. Last year our team went duck hunting in Arkansas and I am hoping we can do that again."
