Chris Buescher began 2015 knowing he was confident in what his plans would be for that year. Chris Buescher started races all season last season including clicking a win at Mid Ohio and finishing 7th in points. Chris Entered Daytona Strong, qualifying in the 10th position. Chris stayed in the Top 10 a majority of the day and at the end while pushing his teammate to victory he finished 2nd at Daytona in a race that 1 year ago he DNQ'ed because of Rain.
From Atlanta to Talladega his worst finish would be a 20th at Richmond. 3 Top 5's, 2 Top 10's, and 2 Top 15's would have Chris entering Iowa with a ton of momentum. He would qualify in the 4th position for the 3M 250. It had been 20 races since Chris Buescher had took the #60 car to victory lane in Mid Ohio. 20 races would be the ending of that winless streak as Chris Buescher would take the #60 Roush Performance Parts Ford Mustang to Casey's General Store Victory Lane. This was Chris's STATEMENT race that he was here and he meant business. Chris would leave Iowa with the points lead but he wasn't done yet.An 11th place finish at Charlotte would lead Chris to a face to face battle with Miles The Monster and his teammate Bubba Wallace. Bubba would be on the way to win his first Xfinity Series race when Chris Roughed him up a little to take the lead and later win the race!
From Dover To Mid Ohio Chris would contiue to grasp the points lead while the occasional Regan Smith, Chase Elliott, and Ty Dillon would knock on Chris's door. but no serious contenders would step up. A worst place of 16th at Indianapolis would be the achillies heel of Chris but would still not dampen on his spirits nor his points lead.
Bristol would come and Chris qualified in the 5th position and in the final laps would go toe to toe with Kyle Busch. An Empty Fuel Tank would end his chance at beating Kyle Busch in his track. Despite finishing 11th Chris would keep his points lead.
Richmond would prove to be Chris's achillies heel as thats where he has had his worst finish of the year. (20th in April). Richmond in September wouldn't be any better well a little but still it would be his worst finish in the Road America to Kansas show. After Kansas The Xfinity Series would go into their 2nd to final off week of 2015 and Chris would have the points lead going into Texas.With The Help of 2 Time Xfinity Series Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. the question is not when Chris Buescher will crack at the pressure but If Chris will crack. I look for Chris to be hoisting the Inaugural Xfinity Series Championship. (Koelle, 2015)
