WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — In a largely chaotic race — action-packed literally from the drop of the green flag — it was Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing’s Chris Buescher who prevailed in overtime in Sunday’s Go Bowling at The Glen by passing road course ace, Shane Van Gisbergen in a bumper-to-bumper last lap duel to claim his career first road course victory at the famed Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International.
Van Gisbergen took the lead from the second row in a daring three-wide move on an overtime restart, but Buescher chased him down. Buescher’s No. 17 RFK Racing Ford and Van Gisbergen’s No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet made contact in the course’s famous bus stop then Buescher slid his Mustang inside Van Gisbergen’s Camaro in the esses and motored off to a .979-second win over the New Zealand superstar in the second Playoff race of the season.
