QUOTE WORTHY
Chris Buescher on racing at Daytona International Speedway
“It was nice to have an off weekend, but our team is ready to get back to the track and get into our summer stretch. It is exciting to have Bit-O-Honey on board for another race and we know we have a good superspeedway program at Roush Fenway. I just need to try to position myself in a good spot at the end of the race to get a win.”
