In his first start at Chicagoland Speedway, Buescher qualified his EcoBoost Mustang in 13th. The rookie driver had a strong car, running inside the top-10 for much of the race. Ultimately, Buescher was able to score an eighth-place finish, his seventh top-10 of the 2014 season.

“I’m so excited for this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Not only is this one of the most historic race tracks in the country, this is also a home race for Lilly Diabetes. This is such a big race for this whole Drive to Stop Diabetes team, so I know they’ll give me a Mustang that’s capable of racing up front. We are going to have a ton of guests from the American Diabetes Association and Lilly Diabetes, so I’m hoping we can put on a good show for them in the Lilly Diabetes 250.”

This weekend the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) and Roush Fenway Racing’s Ryan Reed travel to Indianapolis Motor Speedway to take part in the Lilly Diabetes 250.
