QUOTE WORTHY

Buescher on racing at Kansas:

“Kansas should be a good race for me.  I have run some ARCA races there and a few tests as well.  A lot of the weekend will be spent trying to get comfortable with the differences between the ARCA and Nationwide cars.  It is very fast with new pavement, and I hope to get another top-10 in the RFR Driven Ford Mustang.”
