Stenhouse Jr. races to first ARCA victory

 

SPARTA, Ky. -- Ricky Stenhouse Jr. raced to his first ARCA RE/MAX Series victory, taking the lead after a late restart and holding off Scott Speed by 0.374 seconds Saturday night in the Kentucky 150.

The 20-year-old Stenhouse, driving a Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, passed Speed's Toyota on the 107th lap in the 112-lap race on the 1 1/4-mile Kentucky Speedway.

"We've had good runs the last few weeks, so to finally get a win was just awesome," Stenhouse said. "It was pretty tough."

Ryan Fischer was third, followed by Ken Butler III, John Wes Townley, Brett Hudson, Patrick Sheltra, Bryan Silas, Michael Annett and Dominick Casola.
