QUOTE WORTHY

Buescher on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:

“Charlotte Motor Speedway is a new race track for me. I have a lot to learn in these cars, so I am excited to have extra practice on Wednesday. I want to go to Charlotte and have a solid top-10 run. It’s a challenge to stay consistent when we aren’t running every week, but so far this team has done a very nice job.”
