The No. 6 car of Roush Fenway Racing may have been the last vehicle to win a Sprint Cup event at Daytona International Speedway, but these Speedweeks it feels like something of a stepchild. The driver, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., is a full-time competitor in the Nationwide Series. The crew chief, Chad Norris, usually runs Roush’s research and development department.
