A NASCAR insider has weighed in on the incident involving Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick at the Cup Series race at Darlington on Sunday. On this week\u2019s episode of The Teardown<\/a>, Jeff Gluck of The Athletic said that Buescher was to blame for the contact he made with Reddick<\/a> during Stage 3. <\/p>\n

\u201cI watched Reddick\u2019s in-car, and it\u2019s just like he has no warning he\u2019s pitting, which I get from the standpoint of you\u2019re not trying to let that guy come down pit road with you, so you don\u2019t want to give him too much warning. But it pretty much looked like he stopped on the track, slammed the brakes, and Reddick just plows into him, doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. Unfortunate that happened, but to blame Reddick like it was the same incident as a few years ago, I don\u2019t agree with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Buscher was the race leader before making contact with Tyler Reddick, who won the race. As Buscher began slowing up on the track to get to pit road, Reddick ran into the back of his No. 17 Ford, leading Buscher to get sideways and make contact with the outside wall. Buescher finished the race in ninth. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChris Buescher reacts to the Darlington incident with Tyler Reddick<\/p>\n

After the race, Buescher reacted to Reddick making contact with him. \u201cIt\u2019s just racing. Ultimately, it\u2019s just racing,\u201d Buescher said<\/a>. \u201cWe were really fast today. \u2026 Proud of everybody. We made great changes, qualified great. I mean, pit stops were awesome. Made improvements on the race car all day long, and that was just a big move to set ourselves up to win the race, and it didn\u2019t work out. We\u2019re coming here trying to figure out how to win races, and that was a big chance for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buescher came close to earning his first win of the season, but it was still a good day for him. His P9 finish on Sunday was his third top-10 finish in six races this year. Buescher\u2019s strong start has led to a seventh- place spot in the NASCAR Chase\/Cup points standings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A NASCAR insider has weighed in on the incident involving Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick at the Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":556576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-556575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/556576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=556575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=556575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
