Chris Buescher 2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion

2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion is Roush Fenway Racing driver Chris Buescher Wins

Roush Fenway Racing driver Chris Buescher clinched the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series championship on Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Buescher, driver of the No. 60 Ford Mustang, held off 2014 champion Chase Elliott of JR Motorsports to win his first national series championship.

This was Buescher’s second full-time season in the XFINITY Series following a seventh-place finish in last year’s points standings.

Buescher also raced in six Sprint Cup Series events this season in the No. 34 Ford for Front Row Motorsports while David Ragan filled in for an injured Kyle Busch in the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Buescher’s 2015 XFINITY season began with a second-place finish atDaytona International Speedway. Then, he posted top-five results at Atlanta, Auto Club Speedway and Bristol over the next six events before breaking through with a win in May at Iowa and then again two weeks later at Dover.

The Iowa victory put him atop the points standings, and he never lost his grip on the points lead.

Buescher, 23, debuted for Roush Fenway Racing in 2011 in the XFINITY Series, finishing 17th at both Richmond and Darlington. He got his first series win in the 2014 Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

A Texas native, Buescher moved to North Carolina in 2008 to join RFR as a developmental driver. He previously won a championship in the ARCA Series in 2012 driving for Russ Roulo.

Kyle Larson Picked up the win in the race.
