Stenhouse Jr. on racing at the ROVAL

“Last year we really struggled at the Roval. The track is very challenging and requires a lot of finesse. I ran some laps on the Ford simulator just to get more familiar with the track. It’s so easy to step over that fine line and get in trouble. Our goal is to keep our Sunny D Ford clean and hopefully be there at the end to earn a solid finish.”
