Chris Buescher cannot endure disrespect toward his country
Emerging as a luminary under the Brad Keselowski constellation, Chris Buescher, a proud Texan and a sterling representative of the United States, has etched his name into the annals of professional stock car racing since 2005. However, the road to recognition wasn’t a sprint but a marathon, a journey spanning a staggering 19 years before he could bask in the radiant glow of substantial acclaim.
In a recent tête-à-tête with the affable Alex Weaver, the Daytona race winner journeyed back to his formative years, weaving a tale that transformed a regular school kid into a pedal-to-the-metal virtuoso. His father, a veritable hot rodder immersed in the symphony of wheels and motors, instilled in young Chris an abiding affection for the world of automobiles, an ardor that eventually steered him toward the racetrack.
Balancing the demands of speed and scholarship, the No. 17 Ford Mustang driver ingeniously absconded from Fridays to fuel his passion, a maneuver that ruffled the feathers of academia. In a bid to restore equilibrium, he took up the mantle of a band member, wielding the trumpet with varying degrees of prowess, though candidly admitting that his musical acumen left much to be desired.
Yet, amid the candid recollections and memories, a seemingly innocuous query from the reporter served as a curveball. Just after the interviewer asked- “How do we get Chris Buescher to play the national anthem at a race?”- it appeared that the remark seemingly flipped a switch within the racer.
Swift and resolute, Buescher fired back, his response resonating with unwavering conviction: “No, no! You cannot disrespect the country like that.”
