Following the conclusion of the Watkins Glen International Cup Series, NASCAR brought Chris Buescher’s No. 17 car to the Development Center. The sport took a closer look at Buescher’s car after a strong performance at Watkins Glen; however was there any penalty imposed on the RFK Racing driver?
Buescher’s No. 17 car showed no issues at the NASCAR Research and Development Center, which is the best result for further inspections. In previous years, NASCAR has identified issues that cost teams and drivers over 100 points or more, so Buescher’s approval is good news.
