ADVANCE NOTES
· Daytona Recap
o Chris Buescher hit the track at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) for his first NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at the two-and-a-half mile track. The Roush Fenway Racing driver had a fast No.60 Roush Performance Parts Mustang and was able to hold his ground within the lead pack after starting in third, running inside the top ten for much of the evening. After avoiding trouble during a late-race caution, Buescher was stuck in the back of the pack without enough time left to make up ground, but fought hard until the last second of a green-white-checkered finish to earn a 12th- place result.
· Buescher at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
o 2014 will mark Buescher’s first trip to Loudon in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS).
o Buescher tested at the 1.058-mile track for two days earlier this month.
· The Car
o Primary chassis RK-809 was last run in 2014 at Richmond, starting and finishing in the seventh-position.
· Ford EcoBoost
o For 2014, EcoBoost will be available on more than 90% of the Ford nameplates, rising to 95% by 2015.
o EcoBoost technology combines smaller overall size with turbocharging, direct injection and variable valve timing for outstanding performance and fuel economy.
o Better fuel efficiency and lower fuel bills are the top reasons for EcoBoost engines.
Chris Buescher on New Hampshire:
“Our Ford EcoBoost Mustang should do well at New Hampshire this weekend. This team has had short track success lately and this weekend should be no exception. I want to get another top-ten finish this weekend and this will be the type of track that our No.60 team will be good at.”
