Chris Buescher

Much like Justin Haley and Spire Motorsports Sunday at Daytona Int’l Speedway, Chris Buescher and Front Row Motorsports were in the right place at the right time when it mattered most during the 2016 Pennsylvania 400 at Pennsylvania’s Pocono Raceway.

The field was in the middle of a pit-stop cycle when the caution flag waved for dense fog that made it nearly impossible for drivers or spotters to see the track. Buescher was leading the race at the time and when the fog didn’t clear, NASCAR awarded Buescher and Front Row the victory.
