Jeb Burton on Racing at Bristol Motor Speedway

“I’ve been waiting for our Truck Series race at Bristol all season. It’s the kind of track that you can prepare for all year and when you get there, everything goes out the window. After our performance at Michigan, we feel pretty confident about our strategy and approach. Our TSM team keeps putting in the hours to make sure we have the best truck on the track and I couldn’t be happier with where we’re at right now. Bristol’s going to get interesting though. We’re going to give it all we’ve got to stay in p2.”

Buescher has moved back into third in the points, just one point behind Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM) teammate Jeb Burton for second place. In the last two races at BMS, Buescher has recorded two top-10s, finishing fourth and seventh, respectively.

Gotta Have a Rheem…After Buescher was able to give Rheem their first win of 2013 at MIS, he and the No. 31 TSM team aim to follow up that win with another at the UNOH 200 at BMS. Rheem Manufacturing Company (www.rheem.com) is privately held with headquarters in Atlanta.

Previous Race Recap…Buescher came into the Michigan National Guard 200 at MIS looking to put the previous outing behind him and his Rheem team. Coming off solid practice sessions and a stellar qualifying effort, Buescher started the 100-lap race in the third position. After dropping back in the field for the first half of the race, Buescher worked his way up to the top five with under 10 laps remaining. Coming to three laps to go, Buescher made a great move on the first and second-place trucks in Turn 3 and vaulted himself to first.

James Buescher on Returning to Bristol Motor Speedway

“Bristol is one of the most challenging tracks on the circuit; you just never know what is going to happen there. We have a great truck prepared to take with us, and I think we have a great shot of giving Rheem and everyone at Turner Scott Motorsports back-to-back wins.”

“Bristol is a really special place for me. It’s where I made my first ever Truck Series start, and it’s a place where we have celebrated having Oliver in our life. It’s also just a special race because of the history, the setting, the short-track racing under the lights. The fans and the energy bring a higher level of excitement there. I’m looking forward to being able to carry the momentum of our last two finishes into Bristol, and I feel confident about the truck we’re bringing. We all keep saying that our first win is coming, and Bristol would be a very special place for that.”
