Chris Buescher Puts up Massive Score for Fantasy Owners at Sonoma
3 months agoHeading into the Toyota/Save Mart 350 race on Sunday, it looked as though Chris Buescher may have been in a little trouble, as the Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver qualified 26th and didn't look overly impressive in practice. However, as he normally does, Buescher came through with a solid performance--it was a road course after all!--and wound up third when the checkered flag waved. He also added in a Stage win, giving him 44 much-need points on the day. Looking at the Playoffs picture, Buescher now has a 24-point cushion on the cut line. After the race, Buescher stated, "If you had told us at the beginning of the day that we'd be able to win a stage and come home with a third-place finish, I think we would've been pretty dang happy with that. So, trying to remember that side from six hours ago and enjoy it." That third-place result makes it 11 road course races in a row that he has finished 11th or better. His Place Differential during the race also helped DFS players massively, as Buescher was the highest-scoring driver on the slate, putting up 72.9 FPTS on DraftKings.
