Erik Jones plans on talking with Chase Briscoe about Phoenix: ‘Maybe he has a different opinion now’

Last week at Phoenix, Erik Jones was less than happy with Chase Briscoe. Meanwhile, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver didn’t seem to care. NASCAR beefs can be one-sided at times and that appears to be the case here.

While Erik Jones said he would call his competitor, he has yet to do it. Although he does plan to ring him up this Friday afternoon ahead of the Food City 500 at Bristol. Sometimes waiting it out can be the best thing.

Talking to the media during an availability on Friday, Jones opened up about the issue. He plans to call Chase and hopes that he sees things differently than he did at the track last Sunday.

“No I haven’t today, I hope to call him this afternoon and talk. I don’t really like to talk early in the week, I think everybody’s still made including myself and probably Chase as well,” Jones explained, via Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports. “Yeah, I hope we can come to an understanding, the frustration is there, it’s still there, right?

“We still got wrecked. I don’t think it was all on him but I think it was probably more on him than what he realized at the time. Maybe has a different opinion now, I don’t know hope to talk to him this afternoon and go into this weekend with an understanding. I don’t really like to carry things on, I don’t like to be in car fights on the race track and I just hope we can have an understanding of how we want to race going forward.”
