Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Used To Be Good At Bristol But Not Lately
3 months agoIn his Roush Fenway Racing days, Bristol was one of Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s best tracks, with six top-10 finishes in a nine-race span, including two second-place finishes, even though he never led there. But he has only had mid-pack speed since his arrival at JTG-Daugherty Racing and his average running positions were mediocre, too, not to mention that he crashed out of three of six races. He seems to have been both slower and more crash-prone for JTG than for Roush, and he has been both slower and crash-prone than usual, even by his typical standards this year. His seven crash DNFs are tied for the most he's had in a season, and a whopping five of those have happened within the last 10 races. When considering he is also starting 31st and having his slowest season since 2014, he's extremely unlikely to deliver a good result.
