Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Kentucky:
“Kentucky has been a good track for us in the past. Our entire organization has been working really hard on our intermediate program. We have to keep digging and keep trying to gain some points in the standings. With it being Fifth Third’s home track hopefully we can have a strong run at Kentucky.”
