QUOTE WORTHY
Buescher on racing at Watkins Glen:
“We had a really great car at Road America earlier this year, so I’m excited to bring that same car back to the track. It’s really cool to have Cheez-It on our Mustang, especially since this is such a big race weekend for Kellogg’s. I know we’ll have a strong car, hopefully we can play the road course strategy right and end up in victory lane.”
