Official Release

“It’s unfortunate because the car was pretty good in the wet. When Kanaan hit the tire wall he just bounced right out in front of me and there was no where I could go. That’s just the way these things go. It’s unfortunate but we’ve had a great season so far and the Steak ‘n Shake team will be back strong tomorrow.”

Carlos Munoz earned his first career Verizon IndyCar Series victory as severe weather prompted a red flag with 47 of 70 scheduled laps in Race 1 of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans on the 2.35-mile, 14-turn Raceway at Belle Isle Park.

The ending of Saturday’s “Buckle Up 200” presented by Click It or Ticket NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Dover International Speedway was nothing if not unconventional. One driver thought he was racing for the lead – but he wasn’t. Other drivers were struggling with pit road. And the eventual winner, who’d just knocked his teammate out of the way to take the lead, was actually driving as slowly as he could without losing it.

Roush Fenway Racing’s Chris Buescher took over the race lead with 10 laps remaining inSaturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series race at the ‘Monster Mile’ of Dover International Speedway and was able to hang on, conserving enough fuel in his No. 60 Roush Performance Ford for the final 10 miles, as the XFINITY points leader claimed his second victory in the last three races. Buescher started the race on the outside of the front row by pole winner and teammate Bubba Wallace. After the one-two start, the two battled late for the lead, before Wallace had to pit with a flat tire after the two Fords made contact.

CHRIS BUESCHER, No. 60 Roush Performance Products Ford Mustang – YOU WERE SAVING FUEL, DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD MAKE IT TO THE END? “Honestly I never know what to believe when it comes to the end of these races. Scott always tells me we are a couple short but you just never know how much you need to save. We saved quite a bit there at the end and that whole run really we were just trying to be easy on the throttle."

Matt Kenseth (second) was the top-finishing Camry driver in Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) race at Dover International Speedway which was won by Chris Buescher.

DARRELL WALLACE JR., No. 6 Ford EcoBoost Mustang – WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOUR TEAMMATE? “It is my teammate so I can’t really say much unless I see a replay. I asked the spotter after the race and he said we got run over. They talk about that Dash for Cash stuff and we got jinxed. I am glad I am not in it for the next one. I was saving fuel there and Chris (Buescher) just ran over me and he ends up winning."

"“I’m pretty disappointed with qualifying. The team has been doing such a great job and we’ve been so competitive everywhere and when we got on track this morning, the car just felt like it was off and that carried through to qualifying. We’re going to have to make some changes for the morning practice but hopefully we can make the right changes, head in the right direction and have a good day tomorrow."

Will Power set the qualifying lap track record on the way to earning the Verizon P1 Award for Race 1 of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans.

For a while, it looked like the winner of the Lucas Oil 200 was going to be whichever truck managed to survive 200 laps around the Monster Mile. Eventually, things calmed down – but still, only nine of the 32 cars that started Friday’s “Lucas Oil 200” NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Dover International Speedway were on the lead lap at the end of it.
