Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing team have fired off to a really good start over the opening nine races of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. After a win in the Daytona 500, and four top-10s have placed Stenhouse 13th in the championship standings, it appears RFK feels the No. 47 has had TOO GOOD of a start to the season.

RFK, who provides a pit crew for the No. 47 team, will swap the No. 47 pit crew to the No. 17 RFK Racing team.

“When you’re a team that is a customer of somebody else, I guess things like this happen,” Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. said Thursday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “For us, we were basically told we had our pit crew for the year. Then our guys performed the best on pit road this past week and [RFK Racing] called and said ‘Hey, we’re taking them’.”
