NASCAR took Chris Buescher’s No. 17 car to the R&D Center after the Cup Series race at Watkins Glen International. Following a strong run at Watkins Glen, the sport had a closer inspection of Buescher’s vehicle; however, did the RFK Racing driver receive any penalties?
Buescher’s No. 17 car had no issues at the NASCAR R&D Center, which is the best result from further inspection. In previous years, NASCAR has found issues that cost a race team and driver over 100 points and more, so Buescher receiving the green light is excellent news.
