Despite the competitive nature of the NASCAR world, Chris Buescher has done well to fight his way through. He is no longer an underdog and his development was evidenced by the fans voting him the Cup Series’ Most Improved Driver in 2023.
In just a span of five weeks, Buescher won three races and therefore, etched his name as one of the only six drivers to emerge victorious in at least three races in 2023. His back-to-back win at Richmond and Michigan and then the final nail in the coffin at Daytona catapulted him to a seventh-place finish on final points, by far the best finish in his Cup career.
Buescher's talent did not remain shrouded even in the Xfinity Series. Buescher got Jack Roush his most recent NASCAR championship as the former bagged the 2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship, besides winning two races that year itself.
