| Stenhouse is locked in for 2012 |
Stenhouse will step into a
championship-caliber program, with full sponsorship in 2013 from returning team
partners Best Buy, Fifth Third Bank and Zest.
"I can't think of a
better fit for Ricky than the #17 team," said team owner Jack Roush today.
"Ricky will have the luxury of being flanked by a championship-level team
from the start. His drive, determination and commitment to winning will mesh
very well with the demeanor of the #17 team. It will be our job to put him in
the best equipment possible, as well as to guide him through the learning
curves that are part of his rookie season.”
Best Buy, Fifth Third Bank
and Zest each joined Roush Fenway's #17 team as primary partners in this year,
and will increase their respective commitments in 2013 for underwrite Stenhouse's
rookie season in Sprint Cup competition. With their involvement, the majority
of Stenhouse's races for 2013 are fully sponsored.
No announcement was made on
who will crew chief Stenhouse’s effort, but reliable sources close to the team
say veteran Jimmy Fennig will remain with the operation in 2013.
