Stenhouse firing makes for frenzied NASCAR free agency

A critical playoff race that will end the championship chances for four NASCAR drivers has been overshadowed by a free-agent market that took a wild turn this week when Roush Fenway Racing abruptly dumped Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stenhouse was told Wednesday the team was not interested in exercising the remaining two years on his contract and would instead put Chris Buescher, a former Roush development driver, in the flagship No. 17 Ford next season. Both Stenhouse and JTG Daugherty Racing, Buescher's current team, were blindsided as another name was added to a crowded group of drivers chasing a handful of open seats for 2020.
