James Buescher on racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
“Chicagoland is always a track I look forward going too. With the Sprint Cup Series off this weekend, it gives the NASCAR Nationwide Series the spotlight for a week and give us the opportunity to shine. I’ve always enjoyed coming to Chicago, I’ve run pretty well in the trucks in the past. I hope that we can use my experience that I have at Chiacgo and the car that my Rheem team has prepared for me to put together a solid run and get another top-10 for my RAB Racing team.”
