Buescher’s Win the 30th for Roulo Brothers Racing
(TOLEDO, Ohio) – When Chris Buescher took the lead from Erik Jones on Lap 184 of 200 in Saturday’s Berlin ARCA 200 presented by Hantz Group at Berlin Raceway, he placed Roulo Brothers Racing on the fast track to a milestone reached by few ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards teams.
Buescher’s (No. 17 Roulo Brothers Racing Ford) win – his third of the 2012 season – was the 30th for the Midlothian, Ill.-based Roulo team, which has fielded ARCA cars since the mid-1980s. With the victory, Buescher took another step toward becoming the team’s all-time winningest driver, tying Dave Weltmeyer at eight. Those two trail Bob Strait, who won nine for the team.
The win was the team’s first at Berlin but fifth in the state of Michigan, coming after three at Flat Rock Speedway between 1994 and 1996 and one at Michigan International Speedway this June. (more…)
