Buescher on returning to Las Vegas Motor Speedway –

“The team and I are really confident that we can go to Vegas and win this race after last weekend’s performance. We had some trouble the week prior in Iowa, but this team never gives up. That is the type of performance you need to win championships. Las Vegas Motor Speedway falls right into our wheel house with it being an intermediate track and I would love to take Great Clips to victory lane again this weekend.”
