A biography for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.hasn’t been written yet.
“You can have a great car in the Sprint Cup Series and run 15th with it. It's super competitive. These guys are just really good.”
“I've enjoyed coming to Talladega since 2008 when I was in the ARCA Series.”
“Even though I grew up racing short races and sprint car races, I really enjoy the long races. And if your car is good, you really enjoy it.”
“I'm a typical dirt racer that wants to go try different lines. When the line goes to the top of the racetrack, I feel like I'm a little bit better.”
“I'm competitive in everything I do. And that started young. Heck, I started racing bicycles when I was 3.”
“I think if you make a mistake, it had better be early in the race so you can bounce back from it.”
“Oh man... growing up, I played everything. I played football, basketball, baseball.”
“On the driving side, I think I grew in the Nationwide Series to a point, but then coming over to the Cup side, I kind of had to grow in different ways as far as the work ethic that I had to put back into talking to my engineers a lot more and talking to my crew chief a lot more.”
“From the Mississippi Mudflap to the Kentucky Waterfall, to the Tennessee Top Hat and the North Carolina Neckwarmer, nothing says freedom like a mullet blowing unfettered in the wind and I can't wait to restore it to its rightful place in the NASCAR garage.”
“Yeah, that's been my style to drive as hard as I can.”
“My dad raced so we were out at the racetrack late at night on Saturdays, getting up early on Sunday morning going to church.”
“It's funny, I can talk to Dad about races we ran, or I can remember some races he's raced when I was there working on the car. I'm sure other athletes are the same, where they can remember what pitches they threw or what plays they ran.”
“Oh, I don't really celebrate too much.”
“It kind of came a little bit easier in Nationwide once I figured out what I needed to do driving-wise.”
“Obviously it's always special having that first championship, but when you can go out and you're a car to beat every week, I think that's what classifies a great year.”
“Being under the lights makes any race track that much better.”
“I think our fans and NFL fans are very passionate about our country and our men and women who fight for our freedom, our freedom to free speech and free protest for that matter.”
“I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform, go out and win races.”
“Anything that we can do to bring the fans closer to what we do each and every day I think is a good thing, and if it wasn't for fans, we wouldn't be able to be out here doing this sport.”
“I feel like I've definitely let some good finishes go because of pushing too hard at the wrong time.”
