Chris Buescher Wins NASCAR Gimmick Race At Pocono

[CIRF]

Just heard on the radio that Chris Buescher has won the NASCAR Cup gimmick race at Pocono.

It's always great for the forgotten teams like Front Row Motorsports to win a Cup race!!

I remember watching Chris spank the ARCA field driving for the Roulo Brothers team in the Southern Illinois 100 at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds 1 mile dirt track. IIRC he handily beat some big money ARCA teams that day. Not the least of which was one of the rich grandkids, Ty Dillon!!

Congratulations Chris, glad to see a former ARCA dirt track winner pick off a gimmick victory!!

yeah such a bad team martin truex jr is in eighth place in the standing and how a 3 timed rain delayed race a gimmick please explain tht one

[TS FAN]

I am happy for the kid and his team. Never seen a flukier win though. LOL

[CIRF]

Only one I remember that may have been just as odd was a victory Bill Elliott got when he drove for Junior. It was at Atlanta. Awesome Bill pitted late in the race while running well down in the top 10 and a caution came out somehow putting everyone else at least a lap down and the race finished under green. I don't recall all the details but it was a very odd win for a guy that didn't have a winning car.

As I said in the opening post, I like the kid Buescher for no other reason but that he was able to show he could drive and win on the dirt driving an ARCA car against some high dollar developmental teams.

I really hope Buescher gets into the top 30 and is part of the championship gimmick. NASCAR produced this can of worms and Buescher just might open it.

Dave Marcis 1982 Richmond, stayed on the track while everybody else pitted led the final 5 laps before the rain came and won.

I remember the Elliot win and the Marcus win. They were candidates. In fact Elliot won four straight for Jr. They way things were breaking for them was border line eerie. LOL
I have to rate Marcus second behind this one. Of course this is just an opinion. The whole race today was strange. It threaten to rain the whole time and all the teams were trying to play the rain game. Then out of nowhere here comes the 34 and 7 who snookered them all. Well, I think the 2 got second, but I am sure the 7 was fine with third. I look for the 34 to get a little more support now that they are chase worthy. Should be able to up their quest for the top 30. Sponsor money and other help

Good job to FRM and Chris.... he's been running better and better... now six more points and he's in the top 30... hope it works out for them.... seems like a good kid...

I thought there was typical GIMMICK hi-jinks going on because when Kyle Larson was leading he said how that it was so foggy that he couldn't barley see which apparently didn't matter to naskey until Logano took the lead and then the fog yellow comes right out !!!

Rr, the fog yellow came out when Buescher was leading. Logano got wrecked by the Elliott kid a little earlier in the race.

I like Larson, always have, and Kyle could have used the victory for a variety of reasons. Not the least is it would have put him solidly into the championship gimmick, but Larson is going to get his win's and probably a championship or two. Buescher on the other hand may not have near as many wins in his future as Larson does and for that reason, among others, I'm happy he won it as opposed to Larson..

One side note, Larson and the rich grandkid in the #3 car were having a very good race for the lead before the fog rolled in. The rich grandkid ran out of talent and put his right front into Larson's drivers door which very nearly caused both Larson and the #3 to wreck. Logano drove around both of them as a result.

Don't forget Danica's only win in IndyCar at the Japan race.

Sounds like you "watched" a little more of it then your admitting to...

You get nothing because you're a half wit. They're all gimmick races, no matter who wins.

Let's see, I started watching about the time Kyle Larson and the rich grandkid were racing for the lead. I have no idea what lap it was and I don't care, but it sure looks like you care. LOL!!

When Larson or any other dirt driver is in contention for the win I will watch. An open wheel dirt guy doing well is of interest to me. Some weird looking pee wee herman look alike with no manners and even less class and dignity who is an illegitimate, phony champion, not so much!

Your the one who says you "NEVER" watch NASCAR.... prolly just a mis-statement....
