Krishtian Buescher has been around racing since she was eight years old. Krishtian is the wife of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) driver, James Buescher. They got married during this past off-season and she spends almost every weekend at the race track.
James was very close to winning last year’s NCWTS championship. He finished third in the series standings, just 29 points out. He has won three races the season. He won the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at Daytona in February. Then he won the NCWTS events at Kansas Speedway in April and then Thursday night at Kentucky Speedway.
Krishtian has been by his side for every one of his wins. Almost every truck race on SPEED you can see the cameras showing Krishtian’s smiling face.
