Roush Fenway Racing’s Chris Buescher will make his third NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday. In his previous two starts, Buescher has two top-10 finishes. The sophomore in the NASCAR XFINITY Series has not started or finished lower than 10th at the two-mile track.

So far this season in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, Buescher maintains an average running position inside the top 10, and holds the best average finishing position (7.5). Buescher ranks second to Roush Fenway teammate Bubba Wallace in the number of quality passes with 576.

Recapping Dover International Speedway
Buescher turned a gutsy fuel call by crew chief Scott Graves into his second win of the season at Dover International Speedway. Buescher made the fuel last in his No. 60 Roush Performance Ford Mustang, leading the final 10 laps of the race and crossing the finish line first, extending his lead in the series point standings.
Buescher and Roush Fenway teammate Ryan Reed are the only series regulars to win so far this season. The win is the third of Buescher’s NASCAR XFINITY Series career and Roush Fenway’s 17th overall win at the Monster Mile. The victory also makes Buescher eligible for the $100,000 ‘Dash 4 Cash’ prize when the series visits Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
