He congratulated Buescher both on-track and in victory lane. Keselowski, who left a long successful career at Team Penske to become an owner and driver at rebranded RFK, won the first stage for his first stage victory of the season. “It’s special to get RFK into victory lane for the first time.” “This is so special, this team does such a good job,” said Buescher, who won with a late call for two tires on the final pit stop. Buescher and Keselowski both won a pair of exhibition races for RFK at Daytona in February. Erik Jones won the opener and Bubba Wallace won last week.īuescher won for RFK Racing, the longtime Jack Roush-owned team that took on Brad Keselowski in the ownership group this season, to give the organization its first win in a points-paying Cup race in over five years. The second win of Buescher’s career marked the first time in this format of NASCAR’s postseason that a playoff driver failed to win a race during a round. (AP) - Chris Buescher closed out a bizarre first round of NASCAR’s playoffs in which none of the title contenders won a race by becoming the 19th winner this season with his victory Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway.
