It didn’t take Ricky Stenhouse Jr. long to find a new home. The veteran NASCAR driver will join JTG Daughtery Racing’s two-car lineup in 2020 after signing a multiyear deal, the team announced Wednesday.

Stenhouse Jr., 32, is in his seventh season driving the No. 17 for Roush Fenway Racing. He’s made 251 career Monster Energy Series starts, all but one of them with Jack Roush, and has two Cup Series wins in his career.

Stenhouse also won the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship in 2011 and 2012 with Roush, which announced in late September that the team would bring in Chris Buescher to drive the No. 17 next year.

RELATED: Key Silly Season moves

Buescher currently drives the No. 37 Chevrolet for JTG Daugherty Racing, a seat that became vacant when Buescher and Roush agreed to terms – and a seat Stenhouse will fill in what essentially amounts to a swap of drivers between the two teams.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join JTG Daugherty Racing next season,” Stenhouse Jr. said in a team release. “To be able to see what Tad, Jodi (Geschickter) and Brad (Daugherty) have built over the years says a lot about the team and the organization both on and off the track. JTG has grown from a small team in a barn to a two-car team with more than 100 employees, and I’m looking forward to joining the family. I’m grateful for the opportunity, and ready to go win races with the ultimate goal of making the Playoffs and competing for a championship.”

Stenhouse Jr. joins Ryan Preece in the JTG lineup. Preece, who pilots the No. 47 Chevrolet, currently is in his rookie season with the organization.

Both drivers have extensive backgrounds – and success – in other disciplines of motorsports as well. Stenhouse is an exceptional sprint-car driver while Preece came up through the modified ranks.

The 2013 Sunoco Rookie of the Year, Stenhouse Jr.’s two wins both came in 2017 – one at Talladega, the other at Daytona. He also has 15 career top-five finishes and 34 career top-10 finishes at NASCAR’s highest level.

The team said Stenhouse Jr.’s car number and sponsorship would be announced at a later date.

“We’re very fortunate to have Ricky join us next season to continue to elevate our racing program at JTG Daugherty Racing,” team owner Tad Geschickter said. “Ricky brings a lot of experience and talent to the team, and we know we can have two Playoff-contending teams next season with him and Ryan Preece at the helm of our cars.”

The Action Network specializes in providing sports betting insights/analytics and is a content partner with NASCAR. Check out more NASCAR betting analysis here.

Last week we pegged Michael McDowell and his 100-1 odds as a soild bet to make before cars hit the track at Talladega. McDowell gave us a nice sweat, contending for a win on the final laps before ultimately finishing fifth.

Not bad, especially considering The Action Network’s Nick Giffen also steered us to Ryan Blaney — the eventual race winner at 20-1 — to make it an extremely profitable weekend.

With superspeedway racing done until the 2020 Daytona 500, those triple-digit longshots worth betting become scarce, but that doesn’t mean there still aren’t mispriced drivers to jump on early in the week.

Odds for Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway are now available at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, and there is one driver I’m betting on immediately.

Alex Bowman to Win (25-1)

When the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) visited Kansas back in May, Kevin Harvick had the fastest racecar, but Bowman was clearly the second best.

Bowman finished second in that race, was tied for the best average running position (6.0) with Chase Elliott and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., ran the second-most fast laps (37) and led the second-most laps (63) overall.

Despite his speed last go-round at Kansas, there are currently eight drivers with better odds to win on Sunday.

My first thought as to why Bowman was listed so far down the odds board related to the MENCS schedule.

The current schedule is front-loaded with 1.5-mile tracks like Kansas — just one of the last 12 races took place at a 1.5-mile track (Las Vegas on Sept. 15) — and the evolution of technology, setups and information could mean that Bowman hasn’t been as good at this track type since that runner-up finish.

But as usual, I was wrong. I looked at the past five races run at 1.5-mile racetracks (Kansas, Charlotte, Chicagoland, Kentucky and Las Vegas) and the No. 88 Chevy is still statistically one of the best cars.

Over those five races, Bowman has the best average finish (6.6) and the third-best average running position (10.8), while ranking second in laps led (159) and sixth in fast laps (92).

In fact, Bowman secured his first career victory at Chicagoland Speedway in June.

While I don’t think Bowman should necessarily be listed among the favorites, his current odds of 25-1 are offering enough value to bet early. This is a great way to start a betting card with a driver fully capable of having top-five speed on Sunday, while also leaving plenty of bankroll room to continue adding drivers throughout the weekend.

In a high-stakes elimination race, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the Hollywood Casino 400 (2:30 p.m. ET on NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

RELATED: Full Kansas schedule | Who’s in? Who’s out?

TRACK DETAILS

Kansas Speedway is a 1.5-mile tri-oval with an asphalt surface. The track features 17-20 degrees of variable banking in the turns, 9-11 degrees of variable banking on the frontstretch and 5 degrees of banking on the backstretch.

The inaugural race at the track was won by NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Jeff Gordon on Sept. 30, 2001.

RULES PACKAGE

The setup for Kansas will follow the 2019 rules package with aero ducts and a tapered-spacer engine generating a targeted 550 horsepower.

Each team is allowed three sets of Goodyear Eagle Speedway Radials for practice, one set for qualifying and 10 sets for the race (nine sets plus one transferred from practice or qualifying).

Last repaved in 2012, the weathering track surface has led to slightly increased lap times and tire fall-off. Throughout the race, teams will likely opt for four-tire stops to maintain balanced grip entering and exiting the corners.

“We have a new left-side tire for Kansas, with a construction update that we have been rolling into most tracks over this season, paired with a right-side tire the teams have a good notebook on after having run it seven times already this year,” said Greg Stucker, Goodyear’s director of racing.  “What we have seen at Kansas over the past several races is that the track surface has weathered a bit and will wear tires. This right-side tire is also designed to lay rubber, so that will lead to the track changing throughout the weekend as multiple racing grooves are created.”

STATS

— Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano have combined to win four of the last six Kansas playoff races, with each winning a pair.

— Chase Elliott took home the checkered flag at Kansas in the fall of 2018 at 22 years old, making him the youngest Kansas winner in Monster Energy Series history. The victory was one of only five Kansas races won by a driver under 30.

— Last fall, the final green-flag stretch was 101 laps, making it one of only two Kansas races with a final green-flag stretch of more than 100 laps.

— A stage winner has never gone on to win the race at Kansas.

— Twice a Kansas playoff race winner has gone on to win the championship: Jimmie Johnson in 2008 and Martin Truex Jr. in 2017.

ACTIVE KANSAS WINNERS

Kevin Harvick (three); Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. (two wins each); Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman (one win each).
