ADVANCE NOTES
Stenhouse Jr. on racing at the ROVAL
“There are definitely a lot of unknowns heading into this weekend since this is the first time we have ever raced this configuration at Charlotte. We tested the new course back in July, and we learned some things. We saw a lot of cars spin as well, it’s so easy to step over that fine line and get in trouble. I think it’s going to be a wild race for the fans. I think it is going to come down to being there at the end. When we start on Sunday, it will be the first time all 40 cars are on the track at once so it will definitely be exciting.”
Last weekend at Richmond
With the race going green for a majority of Saturday night’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) race at Richmond Raceway, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. drove his Fastenal Ford to a 13th-place finish.
Last time at Charlotte
