This was Buescher’s first start in a NARRA Series machine.

James Buescher on driving at Martinsville Speedway
“Martinsville Speedway is a place where you beat and bang all day. As a driver, you have to be defensive and take what you can get. You have to be patient and wait for your competitors to make a mistake and take advantage of it. We need to make sure we keep the fenders on our Chevrolet all day and be there at the end to race for the win.”
“We tested ‘Little Rock’ on Tuesday working on our brake package as well as some front end geometry settings. It went really well and I am confident we have a truck capable of running up front on Saturday afternoon in Martinsville.”
