Texas Native Chris Buescher Historically Struggles at Home Track
7 months agoChris Buescher may be Texas's current native son in NASCAR, but his record at his home track is lackluster. Not only has he never finished better than 14th at Texas, he's also never led a lap under green, as he performs better on short tracks and road courses than the 1.5-mile intermediates. However, Buescher had, by far, his best-ever run in last fall's event, where he started second, had an average running position of sixth, and had his best driver rating at the track. However, the Fords in general and the RFK cars in particular do not seem to have as much speed on the speedways as they did last year and Buescher is only starting 19th this weekend. He'll probably have an above-average run, but it's unlikely he'll seriously contend, and his track record at Texas Motor Speedway leaves a lot to be desired.
