Which track layout is better, short tracks or road courses? Which provide us the best …
Chris Buescher has been the model of consistency in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series since May. No, his No. 37 Chevrolet for JTG Daugherty Racing isn’t in the limelight of the top five. In fact, outside of a lap led at Daytona one month ago, Buescher’s only time spent at the head of the …
Top of the Class The majority of the battles for supremacy in terms of underdogs in 2019 have been between Chris Buescher and Matt DiBenedetto. Sunday (July 28) at Pocono Raceway was just more of the same. Buescher and the No. 37 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevy took top dog honors, but not by much. His …
Three years ago this weekend, Chris Buescher‘s name went into the NASCAR record book as a winner in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. But it’s actually been the past three months of 2019 that’s seen the Texan be his best since moving to Cup full time in 2016. Sure, Buescher led 12 circuits on …
Guess what’s back, back again? Pocono Raceway’s back, tell a friend. The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series teams head back to the Tricky Triangle for Sunday’s (July 28) Gander RV 400.

All three NASCAR national series were at Kentucky Speedway last weekend, and it was a bit of a mixed bag.

The Xfinity …
Top of the Class Chris Buescher reclaimed the top slot among the “other guys” on Saturday night (July 13) in the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. The No. 37 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet crossed the stripe in 10th position. The result was his fourth top 10 in the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series …
Who… should you be talking about after the race? Kurt Busch flat outdrove his brother to take the win in the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Kyle Busch ran up on him to stop his momentum and gave the No. 1 a wicked tire rub, but the 2004 Monster Energy NASCAR …
1. Chris Buescher, 2016 Pennsylvania 400 In August 2016, weather also played a role and forced an early ending. But the track wasn’t wet, and there wasn’t lightning in play. So what was? Fog.
