After details were not initially revealed, it has been confirmed that Erik Jones is set to challenge Kyle Busch at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the NASCAR Truck Series for a chance to win $100,000.

Earlier this week, Erik Jones became the third full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver to confirm that he is slated to challenge Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch in the Truck Series for a chance to win $100,000. Former team owners Billy Ballew and James Finch have come together to run a truck for the 23-year-old Byron, Michigan native.

In response to Busch winning his seventh consecutive Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway a few weeks ago, Kevin Harvick put a $50,000 bounty on Busch for any full-time Cup Series driver who could beat him in the Truck Series in any of his remaining four starts this season.

Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Truck Series title sponsor Gander RV & Outdoors, made this a $100,000 bounty by adding $50,000.

Busch is set to compete in the races at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday, March 14, Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday, March 20, Texas Motor Speedway on Friday, March 27 and Kansas Speedway on Friday, May 30.

Hendrick Motorsports’ Chase Elliott and Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyle Larson were the first two drivers to set themselves up to compete for this cash prize. Both are set to compete for GMS Racing behind the wheel of the #24 Chevrolet, with Elliott slated to do so at Atlanta and Kansas and Larson slated to do so at Homestead.

But unlike for Elliott and Larson, details about where Jones would be competing against Busch were not initially revealed.

Now, however, Homestead-Miami Speedway has confirmed that Jones is set to compete alongside Larson in the race at the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) oval in Homestead, Florida.

After offering this bounty, Harvick clarified that beating Busch does not necessarily mean winning the race, although given the fact that Busch has won seven Truck Series races in a row and has recorded 10 consecutive top two finishes, it will likely take a win to beat him. Harvick also stated that only one driver can win the bounty, and once it has been won, it is off the table.

This also means that if both Jones and Larson beat Busch, the money will go to the higher finisher of Jones or Larson. No additional money would go to the other driver, even if that driver also beats Busch. Homestead-Miami Speedway is currently the only track where there are slated to be two full-time Cup Series drivers competing against Busch.
