For Jones Laguna Seca brings back good memories and marks the start of a new goal.

"I'm looking forward to going back to Laguna Seca," Jones said. "Last time I raced there I won the championship in Indy Lights, so it has a good history for me. Obviously, we hope to have some similar success in the coming weekend. I think it will be tough again. I'd like to make the most of the last race of the weekend and have something good to look back on. I'm actually looking forward to finishing the season so we can start working towards next year."
