In March 2013,Kyle Busch Motorsports announced that it had signed Jones to drive in five age-eligibleCamping World Truck Series races in the team's No. 51Toyota Tundra,[7] driving atMartinsville Speedway,Rockingham Speedway andIowa Speedway, as NASCAR relaxed the "Kyle Busch Rule" in that series where the minimum age was reduced from 18 to 16 at ovals shorter than 2,000 meters and road courses.[9] Jones finished second in his third career start in the series at Iowa.[10] In October, Jones added another prestigious late model trophy to his collection, winning theWinchester 400.[11]

In 2020, Jones joined a partnership betweenWauters Motorsports and former team ownersJames Finch andBilly Ballew to run the Truck race atHomestead–Miami Speedway. The effort was spurred by a bounty fromKevin Harvick andMarcus Lemonis for full-time Cup drivers who could beat Busch in a Truck race.[18] TheCOVID-19 pandemic resulted in the plan shifting toCharlotte Motor Speedway, but Jones was excluded from the 40-truck field as the No. 5 had no points in the owner's standings.[19]

After taking over the car, which had been in fifth, he dropped to 37th for the restart, and despite falling to the point where he was two laps down, Jones managed to finish the race in 26th. Since Hamlin started the race, he was credited with the 26th-place finish.[30]
It was then announced that he would drive the No. 18 Toyota Camry forKyle Busch, who was recovering from a leg injury, at Kansas. In his official debut, Jones qualified 12th and ran as high as first before crashing while running fourth. Jones ended up finishing 40th, 25 laps down.
Jones made his first career "triple duty" by running all three national series at the November Texas and Phoenix races. On November 4, he was announced as the driver of JGR's No. 20 car following the suspension ofMatt Kenseth for his incident withJoey Logano at theMartinsville race the previous week.[31] Jones finished 12th after blowing a tire late atTexas Motor Speedway. He drove the car again atPhoenix International Raceway to a 19th-place finish.
For 2016, he originally planned to drive several races with JGR's fifth car. However, due to the charter system, which limits an owner to just four cars without any exception for rookie drivers, his Cup plans were put on hold.
On August 7, 2016, it was announced that Jones had signed a deal withFurniture Row Racing to drive in their new No. 77 car sponsored by5-hour Energy,SiriusXM, andGameStop for the2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.[32]

On July 11, 2017, it was announced that Jones would make the long-anticipated move to the JGR No. 20 car full-time in 2018, replacing Kenseth. This coincided with Furniture Row Racing's announcement that they would shut down the No. 77 team to focus on the No. 78 team withMartin Truex Jr., who would go on to win the 2017 MENCS Championship.[33]
On July 7, 2018, Jones captured his first career Cup Series win at the2018 Coke Zero Sugar 400 atDaytona International Speedway after going into overtime second alongside Truex Jr. but got a big push fromChris Buescher and held off Truex Jr. on the final lap.[34] This win secured him in the Playoffs, but was eliminated in the Round of 16 after disastrous finishes atLas Vegas andthe Charlotte Roval. Jones finished the season 15th in points.
On September 2, 2019, Jones scored his second career Cup Series win atDarlington, securing him in the 2019 Playoffs.[35] Four days later, he confirmed that he signed a contract extension with JGR to drive the No. 20 in 2020.[36] Heading into the playoffs, Jones started 26th atLas Vegas, and worked his way up to the top 10 by the end of Stage 1. During the race, Jones had reported his throttle was stuck and had to go behind the wall. He returned to the track 16 laps down, Jones ultimately finished 36th, 26 points from the cutoff line.[37] AtRichmond, Jones ran top 10 in the latter part of the night and was able to finish 4th, but was disqualified when his car was discovered to have a rear-wheel alignment issue during post-race inspection.[38] He left Richmond 45 points down from the cutoff line. Jones was in a must-win situation heading to theCharlotte Roval. However coming to a restart, Jones was involved in a multi-car incident heading into turn 1. The damage was significant enough to puncture his radiator and eliminate him from the Round of 16.[39]
Jones kicked off2020 by winning theBusch Clash; despite being involved in three accidents towards the end of the race, further wrecks on the field led to multiple overtime attempts. In the third overtime, Jones received a push from Hamlin on the final lap to win.[40] In August 2020, after fellow Toyota teamLeavine Family Racing announced the sale of their team, it was announced that JGR would be parting ways with Jones at season's end, ending a long-time relationship that dated back to 2012. Jones would end up missing the playoffs after being involved in a wreck at Daytona, a race he would need to win to lock himself in. Jones would go winless for the first time since his rookie season in 2017 and finish 17th in points.

Prior to thePocono race, the No. 43 was docked 35 driver and owner points for an L1 penalty when the pre-race inspection revealed issues on the car's rocker box vent hole.[44] Despite not making the playoffs, Jones won atDarlington, giving Petty GMS its first win. In addition, he gave the No. 43 its first win since 2014 and its overall 200th win.[45] Jones ended the season 18th in the points standings.[46]

As a result, the team was docked 60 driver and owner points and five playoff points. In addition, crew chief Dave Elenz was finedUS$75,000 and suspended for two races.[50] After a 32nd place finish atSonoma, Jones finished 16th or better in the next 5 consecutive races, including an 8th place finish atNashville and a 9th place finish atPocono. Jones earned his fifth top-10 of the season atMichigan, finishing 10th. AtKansas, Jones started on the front row for an overtime restart after a two-tire gamble.
