3 years agoSome were surprised that Chris Buescher is starting 10th on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. The Roush Fenway Racing driver is not even in the top 12 when it comes to average finish on intermediate tracks. However, the No. 17 car is there. His best finish is 15th on the track, and Buescher has only been in the top 10 at any time a few occurrences during these races. It is why Buescher likely fades down the field on Sunday. He is starting from the best starting position, though, so the question is can Buescher take advantage of this good fortune? He may be able to, but the risk may be too great as well.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
