On the Car
Fastenal is currently in its seventh season as a primary partner in the MENCS for Roush Fenway. They spent three years on the No. 99 before jumping over to the No. 17 entry, and were the primary partner on the No. 60 Xfinity team that captured the owner’s championship in 2011.
Stenhouse Jr. on racing at New Hampshire:
“We always look forward to racing at Fenway Sports Group’s home track. New Hampshire is a fast one-mile track with multiple grooves. Loudon has been a decent track for us in the past even though we struggled a tad last year. Track position is key, so qualifying on Friday will be really important. Right now with the points being so close, we just need to make sure we don’t have any mistakes this weekend.”
