Buescher could move to Nationwide full time:

  • Buescher could move to Nationwide full time: James Buescher knows if he wants to go Cup racing, he needs more seasons like 2012. The truck championship silenced many doubters who watched him struggle with other teams in 2009 and 2010. He rebounded to finish third in truck points in 2011, setting up the 2012 championship season. His five wins and 10 top-fives in 22 truck events combined with eight top-10s and a win in 20 Nationwide events shows that he is steadily progressing. As far as next year, he knows he’ll still drive for [Turner Motorsports]. He just hasn’t been told what series he will run in just yet. ‘I know I’ll be in a series full time and be in competitive equipment and in position to win races so I’m not too concerned to know what I’m doing next year’ Buescher said. ‘I’m good with either one. It would be cool to try to go for back-to-back championships but if I get the opportunity to go Nationwide racing, it would be cool to compete for more Nationwide wins and see if we can get a Nationwide championship.”(Sporting News)(11-26-2012)
