NASCAR 2022 Chris Buescher wins at Bristol narrowing the playoffs list

By Yash Soni Modified 18 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share NASCAR Cup Series Bass Pro Shops Night Race Driving the #17 Ford Mustang for Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, Chris Buescher won the third playoff race of the 2022 season at the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday. The 29-year-old secured his first win of the 2022 season after beating Chase Elliott in the closing laps of the 266.5-mile-long race. A two-tires pit stop late in the race and late race dominance allowed Buescher to end a 222-race winless drought with a win on Saturday. His win as a non-playoff driver delivered a major upset to the 2022 playoff grid. NASCAR@NASCARWhat an incredible moment for @RFKracing!
