Erik Jones, Wife Holly, Welcome First Child David Wayne Jones

Major congratulations are in order for NASCAR Cup Series driver Erik Jones, and his wife Holly Jones.

On Wednesday, just one day before the Thanksgiving holiday, the couple welcomed their first son, David Wayne Jones, into the world. The couple confirmed the news Thursday in a social media post.

The post, made on Thursday evening, reads: “Thanksgiving looked a little different for us this year… David Wayne Jones was born 11/27 at 12:11 PM,” the post from Holly Jones explained. “Labor didn’t go exactly according to plan, but mom and baby are both good and healthy! Cannot wait to get home for Oscar to meet his new little brother.”
