On the Car

Fastenal is currently in its eighth 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 Bristol:

“Bristol is by far my favorite track so I’m looking forward to this weekend. I was bummed in the spring that we didn’t get to race and show exactly how much speed we had because throughout the weekend in practice that was by far the best race car that I have ever had at Bristol. We know we need to win one of the next three races to make the playoffs and Bristol is probably our best shot. Hopefully our Fastenal Ford will have the same speed we had in the spring and we will be able to showcase it.”
