Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Kentucky:
“I’m looking forward to Kentucky this weekend. I feel like we have made gains this year to our intermediate program. Hopefully we can run similar to what we have at Chicago, Kansas, Charlotte and Vegas and even Atlanta. This is a big weekend for Fifth Third with their headquarters being so close so hopefully we can leave Kentucky with another strong finish and keep cutting into our point deficit.”
