Chris Buescher is fighting for his postseason life in this weekend's Cook Out Southern 500, as the Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver currently sits 21 points to the good with one race remaining in the regular season. His postseason fate will be decided on Sunday night at Darlington, and Buescher will start from 10th-place when the race goes green. Looking back at the first race here this season, Buescher had a legitimate shot to win in the spring, but contact with Tyler Reddick relegated the No. 17 Ford to a 30th-place finish. Before that, Buescher had back-to-back top-10 results at "The Lady in Black." This weekend, the Fords look to have really good long-run speed and lower time falloff as the run progresses as well. That should be a good sign for Buescher. Looking at similar tracks this year (Las Vegas and Kansas in addition to the first Darlington race), the No. 17 Ford has the second-best average running position. Buescher should be a solid top-10 threat on Sunday night with top five upside as well.--Jordan McAbee

After narrowly losing last year's spring Kansas race to Kyle Larson and narrowly losing the pole position for Sunday's race to Larson, Buescher surprisingly fell through the pack and got passed for 10th on the last lap of Stage 1 to prevent him from getting any stage points. He spent almost the entirety of Stage 2 outside of the top 10 and surprisingly got passed by both of his teammates Brad Keselowski and Ryan Preece, although he eventually re-entered the top 10 after several drivers in front of him crashed, most notably Keselowski. Buescher ended up finishing eighth, directly behind Preece, and gained six points on the playoff cut line while remaining 12th in points. It wasn't a terrible run, but considering the expectations from last year's race and his unusually strong qualifying, it has to be considered a missed opportunity.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Chris Buescher of RFK Racing will start second for this week's Cup race at Kansas Speedway, the AdventHealth 400. This will be the third time in Buescher's Cup career that he will have a top-10 starting position, but his first time on the front row. In 18 races at Kansas, Buescher has four top-10 finishes, including a runner-up finish in this race last year, where he lost by mere inches to Kyle Larson. After 11 races this season, Buescher has five top-10 finishes and an average finish of 16.2. In practice, Buescher ranked seventh in overall lap averages and displayed top-5 speeds in the five, 10, 15, and 20 consecutive lap average categories. Based on his practice speeds and equipment, Buescher is an underrated favorite for the win this week at Kansas.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Chris Buescher, the methodical driver from Prosper, Texas, has seldom prospered at Texas. In 15 previous Texas starts, he has shockingly never finished better than 14th, making this the only track that has been on the schedule his entire Cup Series career where he has never earned a top ten. The only time he had an average running position of better than 15th was in 2023 where he started second until a late pit stop resulted in his 14th-place finish, but the RFK Racing cars seem substantially slower now than they did in 2023. The fact that Buescher is starting 12th in today's race (which is better than he has ever finished at Texas) makes him a low-key terrible option for today's race, particularly when considering his boss and teammate Brad Keselowski (who has a much better Texas record) qualified substantially worse.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

While Chris Buescher has seemed to maintain his consistency of recent seasons, he and RFK Racing in general have seemed to lose a lot of speed as he has not led a lap in the first nine races of 2025. Even though he qualified sixth at Talladega, a track which is traditionally conducive to a lot of lead changes, don't expect that trend to necessarily change today as he also qualified sixth for the Daytona 500 and never led that race. He qualified well enough that he should likely be avoided for DFS unless you think he is likely to dominate the race and earn a lot of lap leader points. Since he has a Ford and has won at Daytona, that's not impossible but the RFK Fords have never seemed to have as much speed as the Penske or even Front Row Motorsports Fords on drafting tracks of late and he has historically tended to be better at Daytona than Talladega.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
