Roush Fenway Racing’s NASCAR XFINITY Series lineup is full of young talent, with Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace Jr. competing for Sunoco Rookie of the Year Honors and second-year drivers Ryan Reed and Chris Buescher posting wins this season. Bolstering their strong lineup is veteran NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler.

Three Wins and Counting

Roush Fenway Racing is making moves in the XFINITY Series 12 races into this season. Ryan Reed with one and Chris Buescher with two, have three victories this season, the most wins for the organization since 2012 when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with six and Carl Edwards with one, raked in seven victories.

The organization has its entire NASCAR XFINITY Series contingent on the rise with all four drivers in the top-ten point standings. Chris Buescher is the current leader, Darrell Wallace Jr ranks fifth, Elliott Sadler occupies the sixth spot and Ryan Reed mans the eighth position at this point of the season. Continue reading →

Chris Buescher wins on fuel-strategy at Dover after contact with teammate

Chris Buescher had enough fuel left at the end of Saturday’s Buckle Up 200 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Dover International Speedway to do a celebratory burnout, but his No. 60 Roush Fenway Racing Ford wasn’t the only thing that was smoking after the checkered flag.

Yes, Buescher won for the second time this season and extended his lead in the series standings to 15 points over eighth-place finisher Ty Dillon, but his winning pass of teammate and Coors Light Polesitter Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. left Wallace fuming.

Contact between the cars on Lap 191 of 200 cut the left front tire of Wallace’s No. 6 Ford and forced the car to pit road for an unplanned stop. Continue reading →

Here is my Preview and Fantasy Picks for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway

Contenders

Jeff Gordon – Has an absolute rocket of a race car this weekend and I do think he will win if he can stay up front and out of trouble.Problem is, I don’t see that happening. 

Brad Keselowski – Both Penske cars are on a roll when it comes to restrictor plate racing. Keselowski won at Talladega in the fall and Logano won the Daytona 500 this year. Just personally have a good feeling about Keselowski this weekend. Continue reading →
