BUESCHER ON COMPETING AT NEW HAMPSHIRE: “New Hampshire is a really fun track, but it’s one of those places where, if you’re truck isn’t handling well, it can make for a really long day. I had two top-10 finishes there in the East Series, so hopefully I can build on the experience that I have and come out with a strong finish there this weekend.”

CHASSIS INFORMATION… Crew chief Michael Shelton has chosen Turner Motorsports chassis No. 17 for Buescher to run at Loudon. This particular Chevrolet has been on-track at Nashville and ORP where Buescher finished 16th and fifth respectively.
