One RFK Racing driver celebrated at Darlington Raceway, while the other confronted another competitor on the pit road. Brad Keselowski won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington after [autotag]Tyler Reddick[/autotag] and [autotag]Chris Buescher[/autotag] had an incident with under 10 laps to go. Buescher would go on to finish in 30th place on Sunday afternoon.
Following the race, Buescher expressed his frustration with Reddick on pit road before taking an interview for FOX Sports. The driver of the No. 17 car was frustrated, and it’s easy to understand why after two straight weeks of disappointment.
“Trying to be decent about it,” Buescher said. “We had clean racing all day long and to get flat-out fenced like that, there’s no excuse. It’s just a poor decision and immature move. I don’t get it…We keep getting run into without hitting somebody else first. Struggle to understand the reason.”
CHRIS BUESCHER WAS NOT HAPPY WITH TYLER REDDICK.

“I’ve had issues with hardly anybody out here. Growing up trying to race clean and be smart about it. I’ve had to fix my own race cars a lot growing up and I hate trying to fix noses or fix doors and I try to remember that for these men and women that work so hard on our cars to make them fast every week. You’re going to have times where you going to push and shove but can’t find a reason or an excuse for that.”
Last week at Kansas Speedway, Buescher lost by 0.001 seconds to Kyle Larson in the closest finish in Cup Series history. Now, the RFK Racing driver walks away with another loss after leading with 10 laps to go. RFK Racing still ended up in victory lane, but seeing how Buescher races Reddick on the track moving forward will be interesting.
