Chris Buescher finished 10th in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

Buescher finished 15th at Talladega SuperSpeedway this spring, so his top-10 was not a huge surprise. He also ran well last week at Sonoma Raceway and now has back-to-back lead lap finishes.

Chris Buescher earned the best qualification result of his career in Saturday’s time trials for the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. He’ll start ninth.

Buescher’s previous best came at Bristol Motor Speedway last August when he rolled off the grid 12th. He finished fifth in that race, so his starting position should be considered a good omen.

If the past seven races on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks are an indication, Chris Buescher should earn positive place-differential points this week.

Since Charlotte Motor Speedway last fall, Buescher has finished better than he started on this course type, picking up as many as 17 place-differential points at Texas Motor Speedway this April. He qualified 29th for the Coke 600 and has finished better than that in his last eight races on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks.

Chris Buescher posted the fourth-fastest single lap in Saturday morning practice session for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway with a speed of 119.973 mph.

Buescher has been one of the top values each week with six results of 27th or better in six races following the Daytona 500. Last week’s accident at Bristol Motor Speedway spoiled that streak, but he should easily regain his form.

Chris Buescher spun early in final practice for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway and did significant damage to the right rear of his Chevrolet.

Buescher lines up 27th on the grid. He would prefer to fix the damage and keep his starting position, but he has only 12 positions to fall if he needs to roll out a backup.

Chris Buescher was one of the best values in the game last week at Martinsville Speedway. He finished 11th after starting the STP 500 33rd and he hopes to keep that momentum alive at Texas Motor Speedway.

Even if he doesn’t, Buescher is liable to be a good value. He has scored results of 24th or better in his last five similarly-configured, 1.5-mile track races. Last year with Front Row Motorsports he finished 16th at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Chris Buescher finished 11th in the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway, which is his best finish of 2017.

Buescher has challenged for top-20s this year, but fell short in four previous unrestricted, intermediate speedway races. Often, something would go wrong at the end of the afternoon, but at Martinsville most of the significant problems happened to someone else. Buescher’s teammate AJ Allmendinger finished sixth, which made this the best combined effort for JTG-Daugherty Racing.

With four 20-something results in six short track races last year, Chris Buescher could be one of this week’s best hidden values for the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Buescher was 21st at Bristol Motor Speedway last spring, 24th at Richmond International Raceway in the fall, and 27th at Martinsville. His real claim to fame, however, was a fifth at Bristol under the August lights and that points to an ability to effectively work traffic.

Chris Buescher has alternated 20th-place finishes with results in the mid-30s in four attempts on two-mile tracks.

Buescher finished 20th in a pre-rookie warm-up at Auto Club Speedway in 2015. He returned to that track last year to finish 33rd, then was 20th in Michigan International Speedway’s spring event, and 35th in the summer. If the pattern holds, he could challenge for another 20th this year.

Chris Buescher has made two previous starts at Phoenix International Raceway and both of them ended in the low-30s.

Buescher has a little more experience and probably a few more resources, but the competition for results in the high-20s and low-30s has increased dramatically this year. The two factors should balance one another and Buescher will finish in his familiar range.

Chris Buescher - JTG Daugherty Racing-37

Chris Buescher has finished between 16th and 24th in his last four attempts on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks.

All four of these races also feature positive place-differentials, which made him a solid value. Last week, he scored his worst finish of the string, however, with a 24th after starting 28th.

A top-20 is possible for Chris Buescher at Atlanta Motor Speedway. His last three attempts on this track type ended in results of 16th through 21st.

Buescher finished 16th at Charlotte Motor Speedway and then backed that up with a pair of 21sts at Kansas Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway. In his new JTG-Daugherty Racing ride with support from Jack Roush, he should easily be capable of being scored that well again.

Chris Buescher has made two previous starts at Daytona International Speedway and failed to finish either after sustaining crash damage.

Buescher will be in a little better equipment this year as he moves into a second JTG-Daugherty Racing car, but that will not make any difference whatsoever if he gets swept into an incident. Fantasy players should play it safe and look for a different dark horse.

Chris Buescher’s tenure with JTG-Daugherty Racing could be for only one year, as Roush-Fenway Racing expects to return to three cars in 2018.

Buescher was a developmental driver for RFR last year with Front Row Motorsports and is still closely connected to Roush. One-year teams do not typically run great, however, and Buescher will lack consistency in 2017. Still, as a sophomore, he will produce strong enough results to make him fantasy relevant on occasion.
