Plano native James Buescher held off fellow teenager and Sprint Cup rookie Joey Logano to win the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA/RE MAX race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday.
Logano, 18, was attempting to pass Buescher, 18, for the lead with six laps remaining when a multi-car accident behind them brought out a red flag. After the stoppage, the field came to the green with only two laps remaining and Logano never mounted enough of a threat to get past Buescher, who will now shift his focus to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series where he'll pilot the No. 10 Ford for Circle Bar Racing.
Pole-sitter Justin Lofton finished third followed by John Wes Townley and Ken Weaver. Fort Worth resident Nur Ali finished 38th after he was involved in an accident on lap 30 of the 80-lap event. Only 11 cars finished on the lead lap. Go here for more info and complete results.
