Ricky Stenhouse Jr. On Pace For Slowest Ever Season
8 months agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. is plodding through quite a rough patch right now. His current speed percentile of 29.42 ranks fourth from last in the NASCAR Cup Series this year. Stenhouse has had below-average speed in every race except the Daytona 500 and it raises the question whether Chevrolet shifted some of its investment away from the JTG/Daugherty team to invest more into teams like Spire Motorsports. Although his 23rd-place qualifying run was better than he managed at either Bristol or Richmond, he finished 33rd in both of those races and at Richmond, he was the second-slowest driver in the field. When considering Stenhouse has never finished better than eighth or led a lap at Martinsville, he seems poised for a long day on Sunday.
