Ricky Stenhouse Jr Returns to the NASCAR Truck Series

What’s Happening?

Ricky Stenhouse Jr is returning to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the third race of his career with Niece Motorsports.

• Stenhouse made his Truck Series debut with Niece earlier this season at Daytona International Speedway. This was part of a stacked, noteworthy lineup for the team at the track, which included Stenhouse, Travis Pastrana, and Garrett Mitchell, aka Cleetus McFarland.
• In his series debut, Stenhouse did not disappoint, finishing sixth, the best of the four Niece entries. He followed up this performance at EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta that next weekend with a ninth-place finish, again, the best of the niece entries.
• Both of his starts came with the team’s No. 45 entry, but this time, at Bristol, Stenhouse will switch teams within Niece. He will pilot the team’s No. 4 part-time truck this season, previously driven by Mitchell, Ben Maier, and Connor Hall.
• Though Stenhouse has never made a Truck Series start at Bristol, he does have moderate success at the track in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts and Cup Series. This includes several top-five finishes at the track during his time with Roush-Fenway Racing in the Cup Series.
