Stenhouse Jr. to Team with Juicy Juice at Charlotte October Race

CONCORD, N.C. (June 1, 2015) – Roush Fenway Racing’s Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will team with Juicy Juice for the Oct. 10 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with Stenhouse carrying the brand on his No. 17 Ford Fusion in what has traditionally played out as one of the most exciting events in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

“Growing up there was nothing better than grabbing a Juicy Juice box,” said Stenhouse. “It’s going to be great to have them on our No. 17 Ford Fusion in Charlotte. It’s a great looking paint scheme. It will look great under the lights and the fans are going to love seeing it on the track.  Charlotte is a great track and hopefully we’ll have the Juicy Juice Ford up front and in contention for the win.”

Stenhouse Jr. posted back to back NASCAR XFINITY Series championships in 2011 and 2012, before earning NASCAR Sprint Cup rookie of the year honors in 2013. He made his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut at Charlotte in 2011, running to an impressive 11th-place finish.

“We are extremely excited to team up with Ricky and Roush Fenway Racing,” said Sal DePrima, CEO of Harvest Hill Beverages. “Ricky and the team are great to work with and we can’t wait to see the No. 17 Juicy Juice Ford Fusion on track and running up front for the win in Charlotte.”
