Chris Buescher is fighting for his postseason life in this weekend's Cook Out Southern 500, as the Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver currently sits 21 points to the good with one race remaining in the regular season. His postseason fate will be decided on Sunday night at Darlington, and Buescher will start from 10th-place when the race goes green. Looking back at the first race here this season, Buescher had a legitimate shot to win in the spring, but contact with Tyler Reddick relegated the No. 17 Ford to a 30th-place finish. Before that, Buescher had back-to-back top-10 results at "The Lady in Black." This weekend, the Fords look to have really good long-run speed and lower time falloff as the run progresses as well. That should be a good sign for Buescher. Looking at similar tracks this year (Las Vegas and Kansas in addition to the first Darlington race), the No. 17 Ford has the second-best average running position. Buescher should be a solid top-10 threat on Sunday night with top five upside as well.--Jordan McAbee
