Ricky Stenhouse Jr. recalls his time with Roush Fenway Racing | Dale Jr. Download 

We need Carl Edwards on this show

Being from Mississippi, we’ve never had much representation in the sport. As a kid in the 90’s, Lake Speed was my guy. After he retired, we had nobody. Then Ricky exploded on the scene and picked up 2 Xfinity championships. The Daytona win was huge. Guy has achieved more than most in subpar equipment.

I gained respect for Ricky one year in Bristol when he was watching a Tim Dugger concert on a Friday night after the Xfinity race. He was out with the fans while the “big shots” stayed behind a courtesy rope with drivers and wives. Man of the people! 👍🏻👍🏻

Never really cared all that much for Stenhouse, but this was an interesting interview. I like this behind the scenes stuff, it makes the sport interesting.

Awesome, Ricky seems like a very humble individual. Great podcast.

Ricky has always been one of my favorite drivers.. "class act"

Got to watch him race sprint cars locally growing up. It was awesome seeing him win the 500 in person

Guys like this make NASCAR people you don’t really hear about but do so much for the sport. Doing things behind the scenes and grind non stop for the love of racing!

Never had anything against Ricky. Yeah he's torn some stuff up but never ever seemed intentional. Solid plate racer. Seems like a good guy. I was happy to see him win the 500.

I always liked Ricky Stenhouse Jr even if he did wreck a lot. He always shook that stuff off and showed how driven he is. I appreciate that about anyone and think it’s a great quality to have.

Still one of the most underrated driver in cup

Listen to Dale Jr download every week ! Would really love to hear from Carl Edwards! He’s got to be on top of the list ! Most mysterious retired driver out there! Come Dale make it happen please!

He really seems like a normal humble dude.

I would love to hear Trevor Bayne's story about how his career was killed by Roush as well. He would be a very interesting interview because that guy has talent also.

Carl leaving abruptly was crazy when we gonna hear from him I haven't seen much at all from him

Didn't know much about Ricky Jr but have become a fan over these last (and fast!) few years. Great interview, always love the origin stories,

About time you get our Mississippi Boy on here JR!

I think the spark that began the demise of Roush Racing was when Mark Martin left. I think there is was a untold falling out between Mark and Jack. When Matt and Carl left was when it all went downhill. Roush's Xfinity cars were the best at one time. I think Ricky just got caught up in the sinking. Just my opinion.

Haven’t seen the whole podcast - just this clip - but man Mike dominated the conversation.

Always liked little Ricky thought he would do well with both series good luck in future young man

Thank you for the video

Im a ricky fan just simply because he comes from dirt and owns sprint cars and supports my favorite driver sheldon haudenshild

He hung out with us on a Friday at Dega for about a half hour. Such a good dude

Real interesting watching Dale listen to this; wondering what he’s thinking of this story?

The last race at COTA he finished the race. I did see his car had some damage but he actually finished without crashing into anything.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr Is Awesome

I would like to see Ricky go drive the #4 car at SHR after Kevin leaves.

Great video

I understand hes not the best driver but i am glad that at least in this comment section that he gets some respect. If s driver wrecks a lot but still is a proven winner it just shows that they give 110% at all times. Glad he got the win in the 500.

Ricky is a rscer. Big fan here.

I wasn't really a fan of his at Riverside or I-30 in his sprintcar days so that carried over to Nascar but lately I've become a fan.

I still don't understand why Ricky gets so much hate. He's a good dude.

I would love to hear from Carl on this show!

Enjoy learning more about the drivers in transparent conversations host by this show- nice compliment to Kevin Harvick.

Great watch! As a Roushie boi (As a very good mate of mine calls me) I always wanted Ricky to do well. Just a shame it was such a bad time to drive for the team.

I believe there could be a whole segment of the Rise and Fall of Roush Racing. Id like to believe it’s back on the up. But idk if we’ll ever see the power house it once was.

Always had a urge to pull for Ricky, altho he isn’t the same without the mullet. I’m glad we’ve heard a lot of stories from inside RWR.. it makes me appreciate how much of a battle Bk has ahead.

I just want to see one episode where the dude in the middle has to sit straight up in his chair for an Entire Episode!

Like I've said since the 500, Stenhouse needs to hit up SHR cuz there's opportunity if he's not locked down by a Rousch-type organization 🤔

Still my pick to take an open spot at SHR. Ricky’s got multi win seasons in him I think

Watched his dad at riverside speedway and Memphis motorsports park in sprint cars years ago..flat out aggressive, to a fault sometimes..same way with jr..he didn't fall far from the tree..lol..proud of him nonetheless for sure!

2011 Edwards and Stewart tied , Stewart won championship. Had 5 wins in the Chase

Great discussion and insight about a team that was once was and lost their vision. It will be interesting to see how far Brad can move that needle for that particular Ford camp. For Ricky...I don't throw him under the bus as many do...not an easy gig.

I'll never forget Roush parked Stenhouse for crashing too much then rebounds to win back-to-back Xfinity titles

Wow, I mean, Damn Steinhouse, these assholes sign the sponsors to the car, but they don't leave any line for you to be with those sponsors. I'm glad you got your 500 win man. I hope you get a GOOD ride man. Keep it up!

Crazy how roush had such a big team and it’s all just two cars now and if not for brad it would still be in worse shape

Been down the same road on my contract with them.

I’m just curious here because maybe I missed something but why are there not any of the newer episodes on Peacock? The latest one they have is Sterling Marlin. Maybe I did miss something?

You get to see that if you cant win consistently you wont stay heck i remember Daytona on that monday night when Juan Pablo Montoya hit the jet dryer in 2010 Ricky and Danika was hanging on the backstreatch kyle went and took a dump in a porta potty it was my 1st 500

it's about god dang time time that Ricky gets his chance to finally being on the podcast took long enough Dale maybe a some point maybe you can get Alex Bowman on there at some point hopefully

Edwards retired after the 2016 season when NASCAR stole the championship from him. That phantom caution was bullshit. He was comfortably in the lead and would have won easily

The comments are 50% Roush bashing because they dropped Ricky despite his terrible performance and 50% Ricky bashing despite his championships

Hate that Dale never asked Ricky about the ARCA championship with Scott Speed. Really wanted to hear that story.

I always root for Wrecky. He's just a likeable guy that's had more than his share of bad luck on the track.

They have Ricky looking like he's 4ft tall.

I've never been a Ricky Stenhouse fan but IMHO, he hasn't been a horrible race car driver either.

Good Driver, he is just missing that little tiny bit that makes him a great driver…..I think it’s just a bit more confidence and I think that’s coming this year! Go get ‘em!!!

He deserves the 4

2011 was the tie with tony lol.

Let Ricky go, but kept the dollar Buescher, where are you now, the dollar you can't take with you, only faith and honor can you take, M Martin fan

Apparently Ross was dirty before they had Stenhouse. I wonder if they're still are business-wise another Brad's came aboard 🤔

Sounds like Jack Roush ran a great operation over there…

👍👍

Brad K would've made an effort to keep Ricky around, that's for sure.

1:57 2011

I know Stenhouse was probably angry & pissed @ Roush organization after Jack let him go end 2019 season.I would always wonder why Roush let Jeff Burton leave after 03 season .

Stop with the darn teasers. BY the time the actual video comes out. I don’t card anymore

I just want to ask Danica questions..im sorry.

I don't follow this podcast every week , but Has Danika Patrick ever been on here ? 🤔

Edwards tied Smoke in points in 2011. Kez won the championship in 2012. Edwards left Roush after 2014. C'mon guys, you NASCAR drivers make millions and you can't even remember the years. I remember these things off the top of my head and I don't even race. Therefore I should be making millions driving the car. Put me in coach!

Mark wasn't happy there either. who's the common denominator in these interviews...

Why cant I see yall on spotify. It's just audio. Good one jr. Sad jack wasnt the guy to say bye. To Rickey. I am sure he got let go at ford. Oh well my thoughts

"I dont know what happened" Jack said he could not afford to keep fixing the cars after he wrecked them every week. Its the same story that happened in the Nationwide Series. Wrecked a bunch of cars and Jack made him work in the body shop to fix them and share the ride.

Oh well

I really think he’s gonna take over the 4 car

The Daytona 500 winner. Stenhouse should had won more races but the decline of Roush Racing hadn't produced that.

😊

Mike Davis drains the pod

Kyle Stenhouse Jr

I have liked and now I'm commenting below... lol

Good kid but he has been lucky to keep getting rides. I mean a driver that may win a race every 3 to 4 years is not really beneficial to a big team. So he fits in where he is at the moment.

Everybody who remembers "IT WAS 11"

Basically Danica but doesn't get hate for just living lol

It was ‘11

You don't have to win races every year to be a respectable driver. Drivers more often wreck than win anyways. Dave Marcis raced in 5 different decades and only won 5 races.

I love Jr. but his lack of questions or comments seems telling. He's towing some sort of line and he doesn't normally do that. This seems like one of the few times Jr. withheld his thoughts for reasons that might be "industry politics".

Grrr.

Why's he look so little at that table? Like half of Mike and Jr is above the table but this dude's shoulders are barely poking over?

Good ol Wrecky

These guys have memory issues. Carl DID NOT tie in 2012

He can just start a band?

Jack The Rat In The Hat Roush

Geesh. A lot of stories coming out about Jack being a jack***. Can’t even be bothered to let his own drivers go himself.

Roush isn't dirty no mo. Even if moses and samuel stood before me, my heart would not go out to them. Fungi amongi is guiliani? Caesar not Augustus?

So funny to hear Rickey say JTG has what it takes to win And he won the Daytona 500 It's funny because when preece (a superstar in his own mind) signed with JTG he also said the team had everything needed to win. Preece did NOTHING with JTG in 3 full seasons. Now, after doing NOTHING with SHR, all the preece fans crying that Ryan was in "bad equipment" not Ryan's fault It's never Ryan's fault, it's always someone else's. Disagree??? Tell me then what Preece has done that dozens of other drivers haven't also done above and beyond what Preece has done. I know all about 2 truck wins and 2 xfinity wins Big deal, old news, he's a CUP field filler that Tony got cheap.

I just don’t have the interested with these corporate drivers. I like hearing more from the last generation

Spinhouse

Roush is as good at screwing drivers as Gibbs is!

Roush still isn't what it was and it is only getting worse. If Buscher was smart he'd find a way out of there too. I know Keslowski is a little different since he's part owner. But that whole team has been a dumpster fire for a while.

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap by Roush 🤬
