JTG Daugherty Racing needed Sunday’s win at Talladega Superspeedway.  

Driven by non-playoff competitor Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the Harrisburg, N.C.-based organization is rumored to be preparing for internal alterations during the offseason. The franchise expects to lose its main sponsor, Kroger, to RFK Racing. 

Regardless of what transpires over the winter months, Stenhouse certainly improved the team’s marketing position with the Round of 12 win. He edged Brad Keselowski by 0.006 seconds. Co-owner and former NBA player Brad Daugherty was not at the facility to celebrate with Stenhouse in Victory Lane. 

The team’s ownership and moniker may change over the next few months, Stenhouse signed a multi-year deal last summer and is expected to return with long-time crew chief Mike Kelley. 

The duo is slated to team up again to try and play spoiler again during next Sunday’s Round of 12 finale at Charlotte Road Course. 

Below, we’ll preview the top storylines heading into Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400, go over the odds, and give our best bets for the 32nd race on the 2024 NASCAR schedule. 

Bank of America ROVAL 400 Storylines

  • A big accident near the end of an event at Talladega is nearly an annual occurrence. It happened again Sunday on Lap 183, consuming 28 machines. Did runner-up Brad Keselowski ignite the mele? Joey Logano, who placed P33, did not make that accusation and told reporters he continues to struggle at the 2.66-mile tri-oval.
  • The lone driver to have clinched a spot in the Round of 8, William Byron came up just short in the three-machine scuffle for the win, which Stenhouse earned in one of three closest races this season. With the pressure off for now, Byron went for a cruise Sunday, telling NASCAR.com: “We were in a really good spot … just able to race free.” 
  • Chase Elliott, who drove one of the 28 machines that were involved in the late pile-up, did not hide his feelings on Dega. “This is honestly comical that we’ve created this right here,” Elliott said over the Hendrick Motorsports’ team radio.
