James Buescher on driving at Homestead-Miami Speedway
“Homestead [Miami Speedway] is a great race track. It is unique because there are three different lines into the corner. At most mile-and-a-half tracks, the bottom is usually the fastest route, but at Homestead [Miami Speedway] you can run the middle or top and keep your truck wound up. The variable banking gives the driver an opportunity to search around and find a line that is fast. If our Exide Batteries Chevrolet is not working on the bottom, I can search around and see if the middle or top of the track is faster. We will run side-by-side all night long which is fun for both the drivers and the fans.
“The Exide Batteries team is going to Homestead-Miami Speedway with one goal, which is to win the race. We have had a great year and I can think of nothing better than to cap it off with a win. We know we have to get the most points we can in order to have a shot to win the championship. We have proven we never give up. Regardless of the outcome, I am so proud of all the guys at Turner Motorsports. We have proven to everyone in the garage we are a championship caliber team.”
