Ricky Stenhouse on Texas:
“I’m really looking forward to getting back into the Nationwide car this weekend at one of my favorite tracks. We won there in the spring last year, so hopefully we can get our Zest Mustang in victory lane this weekend and get another cowboy hat.”
Seth Barbour on Texas:
“We are all looking forward to having Ricky in the No. 16 this weekend at Texas. I have worked with Ricky for the past two years, so I’m very familiar with him and his driving style. Since this is his first Nationwide race since last year, hopefully we can get this No. 16 Ford into victory lane.”
