Ricky Stenhouse Jr. signs multiyear extension with JTG Daugherty Racing for NASCAR Cup Series

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has signed a multiyear contract extension with JTG Daugherty Racing, which he took to victory lane in the Daytona 500 two years ago, to continue driving the No. 47 car in the NASCAR Cup Series.

The team announced the deal on Thursday. No details were provided.

“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 has a pair of top-10 finishes this season, including a fourth-place run two weeks ago at Talladega.
