Dover, DE. - RIS - Chris Buescher drives the #60 Roush Performance Products Ford to victory at the 34th Annual Buckle Up 200 presented by Click it or Ticket. Using a fuel milage saving technique, Buescher held off two charging bulls….Matt Kenneth and Regan Smith. Chris Buescher has been able to put together a super hot 2015 season with this being his second trip to Victory Lane. He now has eight top-10 finishes for the season also. He now leads Ty Dillon by 15 points in the NASCAR Xfinity Series point chase.
In just the past three appearances at Dover he has won his first and finished in the top-10 twice. Not bad for the young Roush driver. With the win Chris now qualifies for the next round of the “Dash 4 Cash” program sponsored by Xfinity. He joins one tough group with Regan Smith, Chase Elliott and Brendan Gaughan.
Matt Kenseth ended up second, but 11.47 second behind. In 21 starts at Dover International Speedway Matt has 13 top-10 finishes, and his third for the 2015 season. A solid performance for the #20 Reeser’s Toyota. Regan Smith brought the Breyers Chevrolet home third and took home a Bonus $100,000 from his win in the “Dash 4 Cash.”
Austin Dillon finished forth in the #3 Rheem Chevrolet and veteran Kasey Kahne in the #88 Ragu Chevrolet in fifth. Rounding out the top-10 were #9 Chase Elliott, #62 Brendan Gaughn, #3 Ty Dillon, #54 Erik Jones, and #51 Jeremy Clements. All results are unofficial until NASCAR certifies the results.
The race average was 115.774 mph, and ran for a time of 1 hr, 43 minutes, and 39 seconds. Five drivers made seven changes for the lead throughout the race event. There were only four cautions totaling a mere 23 laps.

I also shoot Football, Professional Boxing, and Pennsylvania Dirt Track Racing. Hailing from Reading, Pennsylvania what else would I do. In my real life I am also a sitting Magisterial District Judge... sports coverage is my escape!
