QUOTE WORTHY
Buescher on racing at Phoenix:
“Any time we get to go short-track racing, even though Phoenix isn’t traditionally known as one, we’re excited as we feel confident in program there. We had the ship pointed in the right direction a couple weeks ago, and that got our confidence going as a team, we’ve just got to keep it headed that direction moving forward. We’ve got a pretty cool scheme going this weekend with the Roush Performance Ford, one I think that looks sharp and will shine out in the desert.”

Last Time Out
 Buescher finished 14th last week at Las Vegas in the Fastenal Ford.

Where They Rank
 Through four races, Buescher is 16th in driver points.

On the Car
 Buescher will sport a bright Roush Performance look this weekend in Phoenix, a scheme he debuted a season ago at Texas that became a fan favorite.

Prior to my pursuit of racing knowledge, I have distinct memories of watching Dennis Anderson's monstrous Grave Digger, or King Kenny Bernstein's iconic Budweiser livery win countless races. I remember the rainbow assortment of Pontiac Trans-Ams race in the prestigious IROC events. I sat in amazement as the greatest racer that ever lived, Michael Schumacher won what felt like every start of his career. I always enjoyed motorsports, but it was the off-season of 2000-01 that made me crave and live for more each day.  My uncle had diecast cars that sat on shelves, each with their own story. While they were a wonderful collection, I think I assumed price tags in the millions of dollars as a child. Earnhardt's K2 , old Chevy hot rods, Busch Series this, Winston Cup Series that, he had a wonderful collection. There was one driver he highlighted to
