Chris Buescher reveals worst-case scenario of Brad Keselowski and his brother reuniting at Pocono

Chris Buescher is no stranger to Pocono Raceway, having pulled off a surprise win at the “Tricky Triangle” in 2016. A victory that came during Buescher’s rookie season, when he was still establishing himself as a consistent threat in the NASCAR Cup Series, now becomes a leap of faith as some temporary changes are afoot within the RFK Racing team.

As he prepares to hit the track once again, he finds himself in a unique situation as his usual spotter Mike Hermann is out sick this weekend! But fear not, as they are now in the trusty hands of Brad Keselowski’s brother Brian! It may not be a totally unfamiliar voice guiding him on the track, but perhaps an accidental text message could mess things up before they even begin!

Buescher and the Keselowski brothers master the unique spotter situation. NASCAR fans should be excited to see whether their collaboration leads to a win on the road to victory – or to good-natured sibling shenanigans in the pit lane. Since the driver of the No. 17 Ford is well aware of the possible confusion, he joked “I guarantee you that at some point Brian will get text messages meant for Brad. They’re right next to each other in the contact list, so that’s going to happen.” He saysand added that the team “Keep our conversations in separate areas” to avoid unintentional mutual communication.

Despite the potential for brotherly mishaps on the track, Chris Buescher is confident in Brian Keselowski’s abilities, pointing out that he’s done a really good job so far and is the best man for the job. While he’s looking for a solution to Hermann’s absence, he mentions that the whole team has been involved and excited to see how this unique spotter-swap situation plays out. Could this be his chance to capture the checkered flag again?

Hopefully, with Brian Keselowski leading the way from the pits, Chris Buescher will have a golden opportunity to create even more Pocono magic this weekend. If he can do it, it would be a huge boost to his playoff aspirations and would cement RFK Racing’s status as an up-and-coming force in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Buescher’s season has been promising so far

The playoffs are upon us, the Cup Series has officially reached the halfway point, and everyone will be looking to score all the points they need to make the cutoff list. Chris Buescher and the No. 17 RFK Racing team have flashed potential, but have also had some inconsistent results for a variety of reasons.

His season started out great with two top-10 finishes at Daytona and Auto Club Speedway, but things went downhill as the RFK driver suffered bad luck and mechanical issues over the next few weekends. Although he currently sits 13th in the Cup Series, he will need to keep up the momentum to make it to the end.

So fingers crossed, NASCAR fans! Let’s see if Chris can bring the same energy this time around as he did in 2016! If he can, the 26-year-old could break out in the second half and return to the playoffs.
