CONCORD, N.C., (Dec. 18, 2020) – There is still one full season to be completed in the current NASCAR Cup Series car before the sport debuts its new Next-Gen machine to start the 2022 campaign, but the preparation is already well underway. This week Chris Buescher took part in some of that preparation in a two-day test at Daytona International Speedway.
Buescher, coming off his fifth Cup season and first with Roush Fenway, is among the first set of drivers to get behind the wheel of the machine that will see its on-track competitive debut at the 2022 Daytona 500. NASCAR initially planned for the body to replace the current model in 2021, but pushed the timing back after COVID-19 shut down much of the sport, including testing and other elements involved with the production of the car.
“You’ve seen videos of it at other tracks and heard pretty minimal input from other drivers, so it was nice to get behind the wheel and drive it myself and be that much more prepared when we go racing,” Buescher told Claire B. Lang this week on SiriusXM. “It was neat to get in it and see how it’s all done, there’s just so many things on it that are so much further advanced than what we’ve been racing.”
