James Buescher on racing at Dover International Speedway:
“Dover is an interesting race track and it’s a lot of fun and high speed. If you have your car handling right then it’s a driver’s race track. You have to be handling right or you have a really long day. I can almost compare it to being like a roller coaster — it’s also like a big Bristol. We sort of struggled getting the handling right the first time at Dover this year but anytime you can race at a track twice in a year will definitely help with some notes to fall back on. Dover also has one of the coolest trophies and would be a great one to add to the collection for sure.”
