After years of tending to qualify poorly and moving up through the field as other drivers made mistakes, Buescher has substantially improved in qualifying this year but it seems to have come at the expense of his race speed. Buescher usually tends to outqualify his teammates Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski, but Preece is typically faster in races and Keselowski often is too. Buescher's big breakout came during the years when the Brickyard 400 was replaced with a race on the Indianapolis road course and he'd probably be better off if they were still racing there. In the Brickyard 400, he had an extremely mediocre run last year, finishing 22nd with a 31st place average running position. Overall, he has never finished better than ninth at the track and he is starting seventh today, so he is almost guaranteed to lose positions and a weaker DFS choice than he seems.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
