Last Year’s All-Star Race

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. lined up on the outside of the front row beside teammate Matt Kenseth but an ill-handling machine forced him to settle with an 11th-place finish in Saturday night’s Monster Energy All-Star race.

Stenhouse Jr. on racing in the All-Star Race:


“When he hit the track on Friday, this will be the first time any of us have ran this new aero package. Monster Energy always does a great job promoting this event and the pre-race show is always a fan favorite. We have to race our way in or rely on the fan vote. Our cars have been fast lately so I think we have a good shot at racing our way in and hopefully can put on a good show in the All-Star race.”


BUSINESS UP FRONT AND PARTY IN THE BACK

CONCORD, N.C. (May 14, 2019) – In a shocking announcement from Roush Fenway Racing, NASCAR Cup driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has pledged to bring back his iconic ‘mullet’ haircut should he win the fan vote for this weekend’s NASCAR All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“I know we are late to the game here, but I’ve decided to throw my name, and mane, into the race for the All-Star Fan vote,” said Stenhouse. “And when we win the vote, I’m going to bring back the mullet! Just remember a vote for me is not just a vote for the No. 17 team, but a vote for the greatest hair style of the 21st century.

“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.”

Stenhouse once sported one of the flashiest mullets in all of professional sports before parting ways with the free flowing masterpiece in May of 2015. Now the NASCAR Champion and two-time NASCAR Cup winner is ready to reunite with his old friend.
