    I gained respect for Ricky one year in Bristol when he was watching a Tim Dugger concert on a Friday night after the Xfinity race. He was out with the fans while the “big shots” stayed behind a courtesy rope with drivers and wives. Man of the people! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Being from Mississippi, we’ve never had much representation in the sport. As a kid in the 90’s, Lake Speed was my guy. After he retired, we had nobody. Then Ricky exploded on the scene and picked up 2 Xfinity championships. The Daytona win was huge. Guy has achieved more than most in subpar equipment.

      He's the biggest wildcard. How good is Ricky Stenhouse? He joined the Roush-Fenway Racing cup team just as it was starting to tank. He's been a JTG-Daugherty, a midfield team since 2020. What could Stenhouse accomplish at HMS, JGR or Team Penske? I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to GHR next year to drive the #4 or the #10. He has sponsors in Sunny D and NOS that'll follow him. As a KHI driver, Harvick can probably get him a few more sponsors. he may even be Busch's next driver.

When he was in the Xfinity series, where Roush was competitive, he won quite a few races still in the era of rampant bushwhacking. Picking an example at random, in the 2012 Atlanta race he won, Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin, easily 4 future hall of famers, were also racing.

    I think the spark that began the demise of Roush Racing was when Mark Martin left. I think there is was a untold falling out between Mark and Jack. When Matt and Carl left was when it all went downhill. Roush's Xfinity cars were the best at one time. I think Ricky just got caught up in the sinking. Just my opinion.

    Geesh. A lot of stories coming out about Jack being a jack***. Can’t even be bothered to let his own drivers go himself.

    Roush isn't dirty no mo. Even if moses and samuel stood before me, my heart would not go out to them. Fungi amongi is guiliani? Caesar not Augustus?

    So funny to hear Rickey say JTG has what it takes to win
    And he won the Daytona 500
    It's funny because when preece (a superstar in his own mind) signed with JTG he also said the team had everything needed to win.
    Preece did NOTHING with JTG in 3 full seasons.
    Now, after doing NOTHING with SHR, all the preece fans crying that Ryan was in "bad equipment" not Ryan's fault
    It's never Ryan's fault, it's always someone else's.
    Disagree??? Tell me then what Preece has done that dozens of other drivers haven't also done above and beyond what Preece has done. I know all about 2 truck wins and 2 xfinity wins
    Big deal, old news, he's a CUP field filler that Tony got cheap.
