In the 2023 regular season, Chris Buescher shook things up completely at Daytona. He didn’t just win the final race of the regular season, but he also, without even trying, gave Bubba Wallace his first playoff ticket. That’s some story, right? But why is this popping up again, almost a month before we kick off the 2024 season at the Daytona 500? It looks like RFK Racing has something brewing.
Buescher recently decided to have a bit of fun with the other NASCAR drivers. He posted this TikTok video on Twitter. Sure, it was all about the @griffinbrothersskating doing their thing, but guess what got everyone buzzing? It was Buescher’s clever caption. It was all about stealing the show with a few well-chosen words!

Remember August 2023? Buescher and Chris Buescher’s boss and fellow driver, Brad Keselowski, who’s also his boss at RFK Racing, totally rocked Daytona with a one-two finish. Buescher grabbed his third win out of five races. And the cherry on top was that Keselowski helped push Buescher into the lead during a super-intense overtime restart. The moment of his win invited everyone to have a look at the faces of the other guys gunning for the playoffs: Chase Elliott, Ryan Preece, and Chase Briscoe; they just couldn’t catch up to Buescher. That win must’ve tasted extra sweet for him!

The post, while dripping with humor, could be seen as a playful taunt, a reminder of the Buescher-Keselowski duo’s strength, or perhaps even a subtle jab at the misfortunes of their rivals. But one thing’s crystal clear: Chris Buescher is laying down a silent challenge to the rest of the NASCAR field. The game is already underway in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Chris Buescher, riding high from a fairly good 2023 season, is set to turn heads with a new look for the upcoming season. The change comes as Ford rolls out a new contender in the Cup Series.
In the first week of December, RFK Racing pulled the wraps off Chris Buescher’s revamped paint scheme for the 2024 NASCAR season. The design boasts a striking blue base, jazzed up with more black on both the front and rear compared to the previous year. Buescher’s fresh livery follows the earlier reveal of David Ragan’s design for the 2024 Daytona 500, leaving Brad Keselowski as the only team member yet to unveil his new look.

The visual upgrade might also be a strategic play to win over their sponsors, particularly aiming to woo Fastenal into extending their partnership for the years ahead. While unveiling the scheme this early might seem a bit premature, it could well prove to be a smart move in the long run, catching both fans’ and sponsors’ eyes.
