Before the 10-week break in NASCAR action due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a story had surfaced that created some buzz in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series.

Erik Jones would be returning to drive in an attempt to collect the Kyle Busch bounty in a combined effort between Wauters Motorsports with Billy Ballew and James Finch at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
