Buescher Prepares to Make His 100th Career Start at the Lucas Oil 200

May 28, 2013

NASCAR Truck Series – Lucas Oil 200
May 31, 2013 – Dover International Speedway
James Buescher, No. 31

After two solid top-ten finishes, Buescher and his Rheem team head to the ‘Monster Mile’ of Dover International Speedway, where Buescher will make his 100th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) start with hopes of claiming the team’s first victory of the 2013 season. As of late, Buescher and the Rheem team have been creeping up the point standings and now currently sit tied for fourth, just 31 points out of the lead., heading into this weekend’s Lucas Oil 200.

It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I made my first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start, and now to have 100 starts under my belt is really cool. The truck series has taught me a lot, and to be able to represent them as a champion is a dream come true. I am excited about returning to Dover; it’s a great track with some awesome fans, and I hope we can get Rheem their first truck win of 2013. – James Buescher
