Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to wear Ole Miss racing helmet at NASCAR race

NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will wear an Ole Miss racing helmet at this weekend’s Sprint Cup Series race.

One day before the race Saturday, Rebels coach Hugh Freeze wrote as much on Twitter, with a photo of the baby blue helmet that looks strikingly similar to one the football team would use in its games.

Stenhouse, an Olive Branch, Mississippi native and noted Ole Miss fan, responded, seemingly acknowledging the veracity of Freeze’s tweet.

Everyone be sure and pull for my friend @StenhouseJr this weekend as he wears the attached racing helmet.
