🗣️'For me, that feels like validation. We needed that.' Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s Daytona 500 victory was a significant one not only in ending his 199-race winless run, but also for his JTG Daugherty team that claimed its first win since 2014 ⬇️
A timely caution following a strategic pass for the lead on the final lap of the second overtime, the first for the two-time Xfinity champion since the summer Daytona race in 2017.
“It’s a battle and it’s a fight, and it’s hard. It’s not for lack of effort,” said team co-owner Jodi Geschickter. “We’ve come really close, so I try not to get our hopes up. Stenhouse got a second chance joining JTG Daugherty in 2020, which has since become a single-car operation. The organisation struggled last year in the debut season for the Next Gen car, finishing 26th in the series standings. “I felt like, yeah, 2017, winning a couple races was huge for us, but I’ll even look back at that season, and we still weren’t super stellar,” he said.Motorsport Images
