Racing career






= Early years

Jones would start racing at five years old, driving in go-karts. In 2017, he would win the Bandolero Bandit Virginia state championship. In 2018, he made his debut in Legends car racing, and would get his first career win at Dominion Raceway. He drove in the INEX Virginia State Young Lions full-time in 2019, where he won the championship with six wins, twelve second-place finishes, and two third-place finishes. He made his debut in late model racing that year, finishing third in his first ever late model start at Hickory Motor Speedway.
Jones drove in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series in 2020, primarily racing at Hickory Motor Speedway and Dominion Raceway. He would rank eleventh at Hickory and thirteenth at Dominion. The following year, the Virginian would run the full CARS Late Model Stock Tour season, driving for GMS Racing at Caraway and JR Motorsports in four races. He would end up eleventh in point standings, getting three top tens. In 2022, Jones returned to the CLMST, winning at Hudson and improving to tenth overall.

On May 1, 2021, Jones signed with GMS Racing to drive at the Nashville Fairgrounds in the ARCA Menards Series East. He started eighth and finished fourth. He would later contest two events with Cook-Finley Racing, finishing 21st at Iowa and tenth at Bristol, races that were joint events with the ARCA Menards Series. Jones also raced in the final round of the ARCA Menards Series West for Steve McGowan Motorsports at Phoenix Raceway.
For the 2022 season, Jones joined Venturini Motorsports to run a partial schedule in the ARCA Menards and ARCA East series. In seven starts he scored a total of three top tens, with a best result of third coming in the East Series at Dover. 2023 saw Jones make further starts in ARCA, as he took three top five finishes in the main series.

On February 13, 2023, ThorSport Racing announced that Jones would drive nine races for the team in the 2023 season, piloting the No. 66 truck. He earned four top 20 finishes throughout the season and finished 33rd in points. Following the year, it was announced that Jones would return to ThorSport's No. 66 in 2024, once again on a part-time basis. Jones failed to break into the top ten, scoring a total of six top 20s and only improving to 31st in points despite making a total of 13 starts. His year would primarily be remembered for a retaliation against Matt Mills at Homestead: Jones intentionally wrecked Mills into the outside wall; the crash caused the Niece Motorsports truck to catch on fire, hospitalizing Mills. After being parked for two laps by NASCAR during the race, Jones was suspended for the Martinsville race the subsequent week. Weeks later, Jones would get involved in an altercation with Mason Diaz during the South Carolina 400: after doorslamming Diaz's car during a caution, Jones started a fight whilst leaving his helmet on.




Personal life


Conner Jones was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia. His father, Robert Jones, founded Jones Utilities Construction Inc. in 1997, a full-service underground utility and fiber optic construction contractor that sponsors much of his racing endeavors.
