Going for the Sweep

NASCAR XFINITY Series championship leader Chris Buescher is looking for the season sweep this weekend at Iowa Speedway.  Buescher took the green flag from the fourth position in the Spring event at Iowa and paced the field for 94 laps en route to the victory.

Is This Heaven? No, It’s Iowa

Roush Fenway has earned five victories, 10 top-five finishes, 15 top-10 finishes and an average finish of 11.6 at Iowa in the XFINITY Series. Buescher is looking to join Roush Fenway teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as drivers who have swept the season’s races at Iowa. Stenhouse earned three-consecutive victories from 2011-2012.

In the Points

Roush Fenway currently has all four XFINITY Series drivers inside the top 10 in the championship standings. Two-time race winner Buescher remains first, with teammates Elliott Sadler, Bubba Wallace and Reed ranking fifth, sixth and 10th, respectively.
