Other changes include Ricky Stenhouse Jr who will to replace Matt Kenseth, who decided not to renew his contract with Roush Fenway Racing.

Kenseth replaces Joey Logano in the #20. Logano moves to Penske Racing, replacing A.J.Allmendinger who was suspended last season. Kurt Busch who had sponsorship problems the last few years, replaces Reagan Smith who moves to the Nationwide Series. Also, David Reutimann will drive the #83 this season.
