It was also during this year that Jones would make his ARCA Re/Max Series debut at Winchester Speedway driving the No. 25 Chevrolet for Venturini Motorsports, starting 24th and finishing 34th after five laps due to handling issues.

He would downsize his schedule for 2011, running eleven races, including a one-off start for Venturini Motorsports in the No. 15 Chevrolet at Toledo, starting fifteenth and finish 30th after only two laps due to issue with the car's rear end.
