Ricky Stenhouse Signs Multiyear Contract

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has inked a multiyear contract extension with JTG Daugherty Racing, the same team he drove to victory at the Daytona 500 two years back. He’ll remain behind the wheel of the No. 47 car in the NASCAR Cup Series. The announcement came from the team on Thursday, but specifics of the deal were not disclosed.

“I knew both the team and I were capable of putting the No. 47 in victory lane,” Stenhouse said. “Although I wish it came sooner, winning the Daytona 500 last year proved that we can win together. We have a fantastic group of guys at the shop, great management, solid partners, and an ever-improving program. I’m very excited to continue my relationship with the team. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised to see what we have in store for the future.”

Stenhouse’s season has seen a couple of strong finishes, with two top-10 placements, notably securing fourth place at Talladega just two weeks ago.

“I am looking forward to continuing with Ricky as our driver of the No. 47. He has been an asset to our team on and off the race track since joining us in 2020,” team owner Gordon Smith said. “Winning the Daytona 500 was a huge accomplishment for our small team, and I know we have more trips to Victory Lane in our future with Ricky at the wheel.”
