Ricky Stenhouse Jr., positioned 13th in the regular season standings and 10 points above the playoff cut-line, displayed remarkable consistency despite his lack of speed in the Nashville Cup race. Despite maintaining an average finish of 16.8, placing him second in laps completed, Stenhouse faced misfortune during Stage 2 when Carson Hocevar collided with his No. 47 car, causing him to finish last in 39th place with just one point scored. Stenhouse expressed disappointment over the incident with Hocevar, hinting at potential retaliation in the future and highlighting the progress his team made in adjusting the car during the race despite the unfavorable outcome. This DNF marked Stenhouse’s first since the previous September, with his 16.8 average finish for the season being his best since 2019.
