Erik Jones was cleared by doctors and approved to return by NASCAR on Thursday, but his Legacy Motor Club team will hold him out of this weekend's race at Kansas Speedway to allow him more time to recover from his crash at Talladega.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has signed a multiyear contract extension with JTG Daugherty Racing, which he took to victory lane in the Daytona 500 two years ago, to continue driving the No. 47 car in the NASCAR Cup Series.
It is a fitting description. “We’re in the groove right now,” Denny Hamlin said during his race winner’s press conference at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway on Sunday.
