Racing career
=Early career=
Stenhouse began kart racing at the age of six, and acquired 47 wins and 90 podium finishes by the time he moved into sprint car racing in 2003.{{Cite web|url=http://www.roushfenway.com/driver/ricky-stenhouse/|title = Chris Buescher |}}
Beginning his sprint car racing career in 360 cubic inches winged sprint cars, he won the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Driver Poll and Dirt Winged Sprint Car Rookie of the Year in 2003.{{cite web |url=https://www.motorsport.com/usac/news/tsr-hines-recovering-stenhouse-jr-to-drive/ |title=TSR - Hines recovering, Stenhouse Jr to drive |website=www.motorsport.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180216204447/https://www.motorsport.com/usac/news/tsr-hines-recovering-stenhouse-jr-to-drive/ |archive-date=February 16, 2018}} He began racing in the USAC sprint car series in 2004, and in 2006 won National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Driver Poll Wild Card in both the 360 and 410 winged sprint car divisions. Stenhouse won dual Rookie of the Year honors in the United States Auto Club sprint car (finished 6th in the standings) and midget (finished 3rd in the standings) series in 2007.{{cite web |url=https://www.motorsport.com/usac/news/2007-rookies-of-the-year-announced/ |title=2007 Rookies of the year announced |website=www.motorsport.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180216204413/https://www.motorsport.com/usac/news/2007-rookies-of-the-year-announced/ |archive-date=February 16, 2018}}
In 2008, he began his major-league stock car racing career in the ARCA Racing Series, driving for Roush Fenway Racing. On May 10, 2008, in only his sixth race in a stock car, Stenhouse won his first ARCA RE/MAX Series event at the Drive Smart! Buckle Up Kentucky 150 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. He had two wins in 21 races and finished fourth in the season ranking as a rookie.{{cite web|url=http://racing-reference.info/drivdet?id=stenhri01&yr=2008&series=A|title=2008 ARCA driving statistics|publisher=Racing-reference|access-date=July 19, 2009}}

In 2009, Stenhouse began competing in a partial schedule in the Nationwide Series at events that conflicted with the Sprint Cup schedule. He had his first Top 10 finish at Kentucky Speedway when he finished ninth. At the following race in Milwaukee, he led 46 laps in the later stages of the race and finished fifth.{{cite web|url=http://racing-reference.info/drivdet?id=stenhri01&yr=2009&series=B|title=2009 Nationwide Series results|publisher=Racing-reference|access-date=July 19, 2009}}
The 2010 season started horribly for Stenhouse, but he showed signs of life as the year went on. After crashing out of four out of the first ten races of the season (and crashing in practice also), Stenhouse was replaced by Brian Ickler for three races and Billy Johnson drove at Watkins Glen. After taking on veteran Mike Kelley as crew chief, Stenhouse immediately responded with a third-place finish at Daytona. He proceeded to take seven top tens and was locked in a tight battle for Rookie of the Year (ROTY) with Brian Scott. With Scott struggling after his release from Turner Motorsports, Stenhouse took the ROTY award after a fourth-place finish at Homestead.

On May 22, 2011, Stenhouse held off charges from Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski for the final 18 laps to claim his first win in the John Deere Dealers 250 at Iowa Speedway, his 51st start in the Nationwide Series.{{cite web|title=Stenhouse claims first career victory at Iowa|url=http://nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/news/110522/rstenhousejr-iowa-win/|work=Sporting News Wire Service|publisher=NASCAR|access-date=May 22, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525073923/http://nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/news/110522/rstenhousejr-iowa-win|archive-date=May 25, 2011|url-status=dead}}
Stenhouse made his Sprint Cup Series debut at the 2011 Coca-Cola 600 substituting for fellow Roush teammate Trevor Bayne. Stenhouse finished 11th in the Wood Brothers Racing entry.{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/Ricky-Stenhouse-Jr-Austin-Dillon-carry-banner-for-new-generation-of-stars-010512|title=Stenhouse, Dillon bring new excitement|last=Spencer|first=Lee|work=Fox Sports|date=January 6, 2012|access-date=February 6, 2012}}
Stenhouse had dominated the Kroger 200 Nationwide Series race at Lucas Oil Raceway before being passed by Brad Keselowski late in the race. Stenhouse took his second Nationwide win at Iowa in August, again holding off teammate Carl Edwards, but more bizarrely as Stenhouse's engine blew coming off of turn 4. Edwards subsequently rear-ended his teammate, pushing him across the line to the win.
At the end of the 2011 season, having scored 16 Top 5 finishes, Stenhouse won the Nationwide Series championship by 45 points over Elliott Sadler.{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/motor/nascar/story/2011-11-19/nationwide-series-ford-300/51314506/1|title=Stenhouse Jr. wins Nationwide championship|last=Livingstone|first=Seth|date=November 19, 2011|work=USA Today|access-date=January 6, 2012}}

In the Nationwide Series the previous day, Stenhouse had been caught up in a 10-car wreck on the final lap of the series' season-opening event; a week later he finished 3rd at Phoenix, while a week after that Stenhouse won his first race of 2012 at Las Vegas, winning the Sam's Town 300, holding off Mark Martin to take the checkered flag;{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/defending-series-champion-ricky-stenhouse-jr-dominates-in-nationwide-win-at-las-vegas/2012/03/10/gIQAHHi53R_story.html|title=Defending series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. dominates in Nationwide win at Las Vegas|date=March 10, 2011|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=March 11, 2012|location=Washington, D.C.}} {{dead link|date=June 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} he would win races at Texas Motor Speedway and Iowa Speedway before suffering a run of bad luck starting at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

To prepare for the 2013 season, Stenhouse ran in the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway where he finished 12th, the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway where he finished 35th because of engine problems, but he was running near the front of the field. He also ran in the season finale Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in which bad luck struck again as he cut a tire and smacked the wall, similar to what happened to Marcos Ambrose two races before, in Texas. In all of these races he ran in the No. 6 car of Roush Fenway Racing sponsored by Cargill, Best Buy, and Fifth Third Bank respectively.
In 2013, Stenhouse competed full-time in the No. 17 Ford Fusion in the Sprint Cup Series. He was paired with rookie crew chief Scott Graves, who was formerly an engineer for Roush Fenway Racing. Stenhouse placed 12th in his second Daytona 500 (his first with the No. 17 team) despite suffering crash damage on lap 134. Stenhouse led his first lap of Sprint Cup competition at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Later in the season, Stenhouse had his breakout race at Kansas, where he qualified third and led 26 laps, before finishing 11th.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} In qualifying at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Stenhouse won the pole position with a 29.227 lap time.{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/08/30/nascar-sprint-cup-qualifying-results.html|title=Stenhouse earns first career Sprint Cup pole|work=NASCAR|date=August 30, 2013|access-date=August 30, 2013}} Stenhouse recorded his first Top 10 finish with a 10th-place finish at Richmond, followed by an eighth-place finish at Chicagoland. His best finish of the season was a third-place finish at Talladega behind Jamie McMurray and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Stenhouse was eventually named Cup Series Rookie of the Year.{{cite web|author=NASCAR|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/stenhouse-jr-wins-sunoco-rookie-223000101--nascar.html|title=Stenhouse Jr. wins Sunoco Rookie of the Year|publisher=Yahoo!

In 2014, both Stenhouse and Roush-Fenway suffered through a dismal season. Stenhouse's best finish was a second-place showing at Bristol in the spring, a race won by teammate Carl Edwards, one of the few impressive showings by Roush in 2014. Stenhouse failed to qualify at Talladega in October and finished 27th in points.
After a slow start in 2015, Stenhouse nearly won the Food City 500 where he came home in fourth. After a weak summer, he had a consistent run of 15th or better in six of the last 10 races, including two top 10s at Dover and Talladega. After poor performances at Martinsville and Phoenix where he was as high as 22nd in the points standings, he fell to 25th at the season's ending.

Stenhouse got off to a better start in 2016 than 2015 including a Top 10 run in Atlanta. He got his next Top 10 at Fontana, in 2015 It took 29 races to get two Top 10s in the year, it took five in 2016. On March 1, his team announced that Sunny D would be his sponsor in select Cup and Xfinity Series races. On August 21, 2016, Stenhouse recorded a then-career-best second-place finish in the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/sprint-cup-series/standings/results/2016/bass-pro-shops-nra-night-race.raceResults.results.html|title=NASCAR Cup Series Championship}}
After a gamble to stay out, Stenhouse restarted 2nd with two to go at Phoenix on the Green White Checkered. He stacked up the line and caused Ryan Newman to cruise away to the finish. After a flat tire early on at Richmond he rebounded to finish fourth. At Talladega's 2017 GEICO 500, Stenhouse won his second career Cup Series pole and his first since the 2013 Cup Series season. It was also RFR's first pole of the 2017 season.{{cite web|last=Wilhelm|first=Chase|url=http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/ricky-stenhouse-jr-beats-out-dale-earnhardt-jr-for-talladega-pole-monster-energy-cup-series-geico-500|title=Ricky Stenhouse Jr. beats out Dale Earnhardt Jr. for Talladega pole|work=Foxsports.com|date=May 6, 2017|access-date=May 6, 2017}} Stenhouse led the opening laps and then stayed mid-pack for the rest of the race. After Stenhouse avoided an 18-car pileup he found himself in second place chasing Kyle Busch. After the final restart, Stenhouse passed Busch on the final lap for the win. It was his first Cup Series win, while RFR snapped its 101-race winless drought, dating back to Carl Edwards' victory in the 2014 Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.{{cite web|last=Wilhelm|first=Chase|url=http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/ricky-stenhouse-jr-parked-it-talladega-superspeedway-danica-patrick-bryan-clauson-roush-fenway-racing-monster-energy-cup-series-050717|title=Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 'parked it' to end drought for Roush Fenway Racing|work=Foxsports.com|date=May 7, 2017|access-date=May 7, 2017}} Stenhouse later picked up his second victory of the year at Daytona in July, passing David Ragan with two to go, further solidifying his spot in the 2017 Playoffs.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/stenhouse-wins-wild-nascar-cup-race-at-daytona-925655/|title=Stenhouse wins wild NASCAR Cup race at Daytona|last=Spencer|first=Lee|date=July 1, 2017|access-date=July 2, 2017}} In the Playoffs, at Chicago he had a rough showing with a not so strong car and commitment line penalty which he ended up in 25th. In the next race at New Hampshire, he hit the wall on Lap 3 but recovered to finish 15th on the lead lap to tie Austin Dillon on points for the last spot. At Dover in the elimination race, he struggled early starting in 14th, falling back to 23rd and off the lead lap but took a risk of staying on the lead lap and got a caution while in third place and finished fourth in Stage 1 getting seven Stage Points. He would not earn any Stage Points in Stage 2 but finished 19th while Ryan Newman finished 13th which proved enough for Stenhouse Jr. as he finished above Newman by two points for the last playoff spot in the Round of 12 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Stenhouse was eliminated in the second round after failing to perform well enough in the races.
2018 started with decent results for Stenhouse, as he had consistent runs throughout the season. However at Daytona, Stenhouse was mainly to blame for two accidents, and he was caught up in three crashes, ultimately finishing 17th, after winning the first two stages, and receiving a security escort after the race.{{cite web|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/news/ricky-stenhouse-jr-security-escort-daytona-international-speedway-crashes-coke-zero-400-kurt-busch/cui5ud374cnk1jot2pertfycd|title=Ricky Stenhouse Jr. gets security escort after sparking 2 crashes at Daytona|work=Sporting News|last=Weinstein|first=Arthur|date=July 9, 2018|access-date=July 12, 2018}} He dropped to 18th in the final point standings as he failed to visit victory lane, missed the playoffs, and recorded only five Top 10 finishes.
