Chris Buescher, the #17 driver for RFK Racing, is looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance in Las Vegas and keep his playoff hopes alive at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

"The stakes are even higher for Chris at the Homestead-Miami Speedway." Despite a less-than-stellar track record on the oval, Buescher has shown potential, winning Stage 1 in the 2021 Dixie Vodka 400 race.
