Buescher: "It hurts a little bit to be that close to a win"
Chris Buescher, who had three wins in the previous five races, finished in third place in the playoff opener at Darlington Raceway. Despite being in close proximity to the leader and second-place driver in the final stage, Buescher was unable to make a pass and settled for third. He has finished seventh or better in five of his last six races and currently sits fourth in the playoff standings. Buescher praised his team’s hard work and expressed some disappointment at being so close to a win. He hoped that the leaders, Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick, would slow down due to contact with the wall, but they maintained their positions. Buescher believes that maintaining their current performance will help them advance through the playoffs.
