The Texas native is going to be busy this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Buescher will pilot the #31 Exide Batteries Chevrolet Silverado on Friday evening, and will also drive the #30 ABF Chevrolet in Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series event. Not only does driver James Buescher consider Texas Motor Speedway his home track but so does Turner Motorsports team owner, Steve Turner. Turner, along with his wife Sandra, live outside of Houston, only four hours from the “Great American Speedway.” In August, Texas Motor Speedway launched an incentive based reading program called “Speeding to Read,” a platform which encourages children to read, at Clara Love Elementary. The program is part of NASCAR’s ongoing effort in targeting the younger demographic. On Thursday morning, James Buescher will visit the winning class to congratulate them on their accomplishments and encourage them to continue reading. James Buescher and the #31 Exide Batteries team remain in one of the closest battles in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series history. The Turner Motorsports team is only 11 markers out of the championship point lead with two races remaining on the 2011 schedule.(Turner Motorsports PR)(11-01-2011)
