Buescher was running in a group of cars when contact between Jamie McMurray and Austin Dillon triggered a multi-car incident on Lap 96. Also involved were Michael Annett, Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and David Gilliland. Buescher’s car flipped three times before coming to a rest on its wheels.
All drivers involved were uninjured.
“It was so quick I never had any time to react,” Buescher said. “We got clipped in the right rear and as soon as it turned it went up on its lid. I thought we were clear of the wreck. I saw it happening in front of us and checked up and the next thing I knew I was upside down.”
A wreck also knocked Buescher -- a Sprint Cup Series rookie -- out of the season-opening Daytona 500, which like Talladega is a restrictor-plate race and features driving running in large packs where they are often a victim of circumstances around them
“I am pretty sick and tired of speedway racing at this point, it has been a rough year for that,” Buescher said. “We felt we were decent this race. We were holding our own and waiting but here we are. It is unfortunate. I really hate it for the guys.”
