Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. Used to Be Good at Bristol but Not Lately
1 min agoIn his Roush Fenway Racing days, Bristol was one of Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.'s best tracks with six top tens in a nine-race span including two second-place finishes even though he never led there, but he has only had midpack 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 out 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 ten races. When considering he is also starting 31st and having his slowest season since 2014, he's extremely unlikely to deliver a good result.
