DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Running in 11th place entering Turn 4 on the final lap, James Buescher was able to maneuver through a multi-car accident and come away with his first NASCAR Nationwide Series win in a green-white-checkered finish in the 54th annual DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway.
“It’s hard to put into words,” Buescher said of the win. “They all piled up in front of me and we made it through.

It’s pretty incredible and I’ll definitely never forget it.” (more…)
