CONCORD, N.C. (July 30, 2010) – Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been all smiles
during the month of July. Over the last four weeks, the rookie driver
has an average finish of 10.5. During that time, Stenhouse has moved up
five positions to 19th in NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings.
More importantly, the team has also moved into the top 30 in owner
points. Heading into Iowa, the No. 6 CitiFinancial team sits 23rd and
for the fourth consecutive week is guaranteed a spot in the U.S.
Cellular 250 on Saturday night.

Stenhouse has run every lap in the last five races and is gaining
valuable experience in his first full season in the Nationwide Series.
By doing this, the young wheelman is building momentum during the summer
months. The 22-year old driver will make his second career start at
Iowa Speedway on Saturday night. In 2009, he won the pole for the
inaugural race on the .875-mile oval.

“I am looking forward to going back to Iowa,” said Stenhouse, who
finished 22nd there last year. “We have had fast cars all year and we
are starting to get the finishes that we deserve. This entire
CitiFinancial team is working hard and I can’t be more proud to be
associated with these guys. The last month or so has been awesome for
us and I feel like we are only going to get better. We set certain
goals at the beginning of the year but with the way we started the
season, it looked like it was going to be hard to reach those goals.
Now, with the way we have been running lately, we are getting closer
each weekend.”

Catch Stenhouse and the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing team in the U.S.
Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday, July 31, 2010 with coverage
beginning at 7:00 p.m. EDT on ESPN2.
