Saturday Recap: After sustaining damage from an incident at the final stage of racing, Chris Buescher and the No. 17 Fastenal Ford team fought back to a 20th-place finish on Saturday afternoon at Michigan International Speedway. 
 
Due to a pre-race inspection penalty, Buescher and team started from the back of the field on Saturday. The No. 17  made quick work, passing 14 cars in the opening laps and finishing 27th in stage 1.
 
The final stage of Saturdays race was caution riddled. On lap 95 the No. 17 car sustained heavy damage to the nose, but were able to tap up the damage. With only 5 laps to go in Saturday's race, the Roush-Fenway team was able to fight from 26th, to a 20th place finish to help carry them into the second race of the weekend.

Sunday Recap: Chris Buescher and the No. 17 Fastenal Ford were set to start Sunday’s race at Michigan International Speedway from the pole position, but after sustaining heavy damage at the end of Saturday’s race the team was forced to start Sunday’s event in a backup car and at the back of the field. The 17 crew would battle all day, ultimately finishing 20th in the second half of a Michigan double-header. 
 
The new car proved to be a good move early, driving all the way up to 17th in the opening laps. However, a tight handling Ford Mustang battled the team all day and eventually the No. 17 Fastenal car would settle for a 20th place finish in day 2 at Michigan.
