Brandon Jones finished what he couldn’t last week at Pocono.

The 20-year-old Georgia native started first and finished second at Pocono, but he ended up first in Friday’s Corrigan Oil 200 ARCA Racing Series event at Michigan International Speedway.

Jones, who started from the pole and survived an early spin in the race on Lap 11, took the lead with seven laps to go to capture the 100-lap event. He’ll also race Saturday in the Xfinity Series race at MIS.

“It was crazy, for sure,” Jones told Fox Sports 1 in victory lane. “All in all, a great day. The car was fastest in qualifying and practice. This is awesome.”

It was Jones’ fourth career ARCA win, and his second consecutive triumph in the series at MIS.

Series points leader Austin Theriault finished second with his sixth top-five finish of the season, followed by Dalton Sargeant, Bret Homes and Gus Dean.
