THE QUOTES
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., No. 6 RickyvsTrevor.com Ford Mustang: “I’m looking forward to it. I think our cars are better. Everything we’ve done this year has made ‘em better, including some of the stuff we’ve learned at the other racetracks. I’m really looking forward to going back and working with Trevor [Bayne, Roush Fenway Racing teammate]. I think we’ve got a pretty good game plan going into it.”
YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO EARN A $100,000 BONUS AS PART OF THE NATIONWIDE DASH 4 CASH PROGRAM. “It’s awesome what Nationwide Insurance does for our sport. I was texting with Reed Sorenson on Monday [another driver eligible for the bonus] and he asked if he pushed me and I won if we could split the money [smiles].” IS RESTRICTOR PLATE RACING FRUSTRATING FOR YOU AS A DRIVER? “No, I like it more now than what I did before just because I’ve gotten more used to it. I really enjoy it now especially with the two-car draft. It seems like you’re a little more in control.” DID THE TALLADEGA RACE EARLIER THIS SEASON HELP YOU? “Definitely. I got to work with some other guys that I hadn’t worked with before, which is always good to do. We were really fast and led some laps and everybody knew we had a fast car. I think it helped us as a team but it also helped everybody else to see that we can draft really well.”
