RAYBESTOS® ROOKIE CONTENDER QUOTES FOR THE

KROGER 250

NASCAR CAMPING WORLD SERIES RACE

AT MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY, MARCH 30, 2009,

No. 10 International MAXXFORCE Diesel Ford F-150

JAMES BUESCHER IN THE No. 10 INTERNATIONAL MAXXFORCE DIESEL FORD WAS THE RAYBESTOS ROOKIE OF THE RACE AT MARTINSVILLE.

“Not a bad day at all. We were like 15th on that last restart, the green-white-checkered and got all the way up to 11th so that’s pretty good. Those guys wrecked down in the corner. I think we were down around 18th, 20th a couple laps before that. I guess the key here is to stay out of trouble. You wouldn’t know that we stayed out of trouble by looking at this thing. It’s pretty tore up [smiles]. The MAXXFORCE F-150 was pretty good. It was better toward the middle part of the race and started getting tight on us at the end. Just couldn’t get off the corners very well. We came in and pitted again and made another adjustment and went back after it. I’m surprised we made it up as far as we did ‘cause it was still pretty tight. These guys didn’t give up.”

James Buescher

“It’s not that hard, just because it’s so hard to pass. If you have old tires and you’re expecting to pass a bunch of people it’s not going to happen as easily as it is with new tires just because of lack of grip, especially for me because I was tight all day long. It was really, really hard to pass. You basically had to get into somebody’s bumper to get by ‘em. That’s what we had to do sometimes so we did it.”
