The Bojangles Studio was filled with Daytona 500 winners this week as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis sat down with Cup racer Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Ricky started the 2023 season off with a bang by capturing the win in the 65th running of the Great American Race. The interview takes a look at how Ricky came from humble beginnings in Mississippi, working on his father’s sprint car team to becoming a back-to-back champion in the Xfinity Series and winning the crown jewel event in stock car racing.

After a stellar year in the dirt racing world, Ricky was propelled into the mainstream racing scene when he signed a development deal with Roush Racing in 2008. He fills listeners in on what his time was like with the organization and the story of his unexpected departure after the 2019 season. He also provides insight to what it's like being on a single-car team at JTG Daugherty Racing in the NextGen era.
