Buescher makes a return to the ARCA Racing Series… Buescher has been competing in the ARCA Racing Series (ARS) since 2007 on a limited basis, and his success in the series jump-started his move into the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS), in which he is currently contending for the championship title. In 21 ARS starts, Buescher has claimed three wins, eight top-five and 12 top-10 finishes, two poles and led for a total of 295 laps.

James Buescher shows muscle at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis (LORI)… Though Buescher has not competed at LORI with the ARS, Buescher has made laps at the famed short track in the NCWTS. In two starts, he has claimed fifth and sixth-place finishes in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

Buescher’s Camping World Truck Series Totals … In 12 NCWTS races in 2011, Buescher has four top-fives and 10 top-10s and has jumped from fourth to third in points following his eighth-consecutive top-10 finish last weekend in Nashville. With the exception of Martinsville, Buescher has finished inside the top 10 in every race in which he has competed in the division this season.

Great Clips reaches new milestone! Great Clips reached a long-time goal recently with the opening of their 3000th salon, located in Albert Lea, Minn. Congratulations Great Clips!

Happy 10-Year Anniversary, Great Clips… This season marks Great Clips’ 10-year anniversary as a primary sponsor in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS). The Minneapolis-based Great Clips, Inc., which is currently the longest-running primary sponsor in the series, came onto the scene in 2001 as a primary sponsor of Akins Motorsports No. 38 entry, then driven by Christian Elder.

“I am really excited about running triple-duty this weekend at Lucas Oil Raceway. Knowing this will be the last triple header weekend at such a storied race track, I would love to get a win in my Great Clips Chevrolet on Thursday night. This race is short track racing at its best. You can beat and bang all night. As a driver, I need to make sure to hit my marks because it is really easy to overdrive the corners while trying to pass. You have to be patiently aggressive all night in order to be successful. Running the Great Clips ARCA car will allow me to re-familiarize myself with the track in preparation for Friday and Saturday night. We are right in the middle of the championship hunt in our No. 31 Exide Batteries / Wolfpack Rentals Chevrolet Silverado and any track time I get is valuable. I am ready to get going.”
