Chris Buescher on Bristol:
“I am excited to get to go back to Bristol. We had a great run there last year with the 16 team and I believe that returning with the experience is going to be beneficial. It is a track that is similar to the tracks that I ran well at in the ARCA Series. We had a solid top ten run at Vegas and the entire 60 team wants to build on that success in Bristol.”
Scott Graves on Bristol:
“Chris did really well in his first race at Bristol last year finishing 7th. The team has some momentum now after our 9th place finish last week at Las Vegas and you can see the excitement in the guys to go take on the next challenge this week at Bristol. It’s a tough track and everything happens really fast, but I like what I have seen with Chris so far and feel confident that we can have another solid run this week.”
