Michigan’s Own Erik Jones Wins NASCAR Truck Championship

Congratulations to Erik Jones, the pride and joy of Byron, Michigan (south of Duran). On Saturday, he became NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series champion. And according to USA Today he did it at the ripe old age of ALMOST 19 and a half, making him the youngest truck series champion ever. He beat out Tyler Reddick for the championship. Tyler will be 20 in January, so, he's ancient.

On Sunday, Erik's boss, Kyle Busch, won the Sprint Cup Championship.

Here's the story.
