Ricky Stenhouse Jr. – Scott EZ Seed 300 FAST FACTS
Team: No. 6 Blackwell Angus Ford Mustang
Crew Chief: Mike Kelley
Chassis: RK-595 THE STATS
THE QUOTES
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., No. 6 Blackwell Angus Ford Mustang: “Bristol is almost like a superspeedway race. A wreck can happen and take out everybody. We ran really well there at the night race. We had a really strong top-10 run and got a flat tire there late in the race and ended up toward the back. We’re really looking forward to Bristol. I think we’ve got a really good short track program. And then if we can get through Bristol and California going into that last off-weekend I think we’ll be set up a little better than a lot of people.”
Mike Kelley, Crew Chief, No. 6 Blackwell Angus Ford Mustang: “You deal with a lot of things at Bristol that you will not deal with anywhere else: congestion on pit road, the noise is unrelenting, what the driver goes through is asked only at Bristol, the focus level. That’s why you see a lot of simple mistakes. Bristol is an animal of its own. I’ve been really fortunate. I think we won four or five races in the Cup series with Kurt [Busch] there. We won with David [Ragan] in the Nationwide Series two years ago. I really feel like that’s a track where Ricky will excel at when we get there.”
