Circle Bar Racing's James Buescher will compete for Phoenix Racing next season in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

James Buescher will drive Phoenix Racing’s No. 1 NASCAR Nationwide Series Chevrolet full time and Turner Motorsports’ No. 31 Camping World Truck Series Chevrolet part time in 2010, a spokesperson for Buescher announced Wednesday.
Buescher is 14th in the Truck series standings with three races remaining. The 19-year-old from Plano, Texas, has one top-five and three top-10 finishes in his first season for Circle Bar Racing.
Turner Motorsports is a new Truck team that is making its debut at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend.
Phoenix is 12th in the Nationwide owners standings, with one victory – by Mike Bliss – this season. The team has employed multiple drivers since replacing Bliss earlier this year. Buescher is in the James Finch-owned car this weekend at Texas.
“I’m very excited about my plans for the 2010 season to run in the Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series,” Buescher said in a news release. “Both series provide young drivers a place to learn and compete at the highest level. … Mr. Finch has proven that his organization can compete up front in contention for wins every week and I’m honored that I get to drive the Miccosukee Resort and Gaming Chevrolet full time.
“Also, to be a part of an organization like Turner Motorsports, who is just starting out in the NASCAR garage, is something that I’m looking forward to. Hopefully next season, I will take both Chevrolets to victory lane.”
Buescher competed in six Nationwide races for Braun Racing last year, posting a best finish of seventh at Gateway and winning the pole at Memphis.
“Our No. 1 Miccosukee Chevrolet runs competitively every week and we are confident that James can achieve a lot of success and contend for wins every time we get to the race track,” Finch said. “The Nationwide Series needs more drivers like James because these young talents need to have a chance to develop before moving to the next level. Furthermore, we are looking forward to working with Turner Motorsports next season.”

Nov 4, 2009 at 6:00 PMI wouldnt want to drive for Mr finch, he has unrealistic excpectations for his limited budget race team. Ask Johnny Sauter and Mike Bliss, they ran good and got a win a piece yet get fired for no good reason. Good luck to James Buesher, he's going to need it.

Nov 5, 2009 at 5:06 AMI have to agree with you guys on this one. This should be Mike Bliss's ride still. He was fired because he "didn't win enough". Well, putting a 19 year old in your car that's not named Logano and has struggled in the Truck series this year isn't going to help your cause to win races Mr. Finch. I like Buescher, I like this ride, but I'm not sure about this decision. Maybe running part time in the trucks with Turner will help him get up to speed. Best of luck to James Buescher..... and Finch.

Nov 5, 2009 at 4:02 PMAll it takes is money. Inside info says Buescher's dad paid well over $3 Million for that ride. Why else would "The Finch that stole Christmas" (from Bliss and others) put an unproven driver in the car? The game has changed. Team owners no longer care about talent level, but Finch will be happy with his newfound profits, minus car damage costs.

Nov 5, 2009 at 5:52 PMI hope all this negative talk is just that. I really want to see James have success, as I do several other young drivers, they all deserve a chance, not a tongue lashing every week, but someone to build their confidence in themselves. I hope Mr. Finch isn't as bad as you all say for James sake.

Nov 5, 2009 at 7:51 PMI am a little surprised by this. He's shown very little actual ability in a decent Truck ride all year. He's moving from that team to a new team next year, and also moving up to the NW series full time. I'm not really surprised if he bought that ride- I can name about 5-7 drivers that actually deserve that ride a lot more than Buescher. Great to see him getting a chance in somewhat decent equipment in the NW series but I am not 100% convinced he's ready.

Nov 6, 2009 at 8:25 AMHey RMDUNN3, you ever Googled James Finch and looked into his business past? You ever looked at his NASCAR driver record? Do your homework and get up to speed. I agree with PHOENIX987, a cast of much more qualified young talent out there. It is not about that any longer.

Nov 6, 2009 at 2:32 PMJames Finch aka "Mr Concrete" reportedly has him and his brother's hands in the Panama "quick money" business as well as being connected in through the oil business over in Saudi Arabia. Finch is the one that connected dumbdumb Richard Petty with the Saudi Prince last month to take over RPM, otherwise Richard Petty wouldn't have had a clue where any money hides.
Report as AbuseFinch offered his private jet to carry the Bush daughters and another member of the Presidential Cabinet a couple years ago.
Do NOT mess with James Finch or your kneecaps will be broken, just ask the slanderous reporter that first reported James' violent, viscious, and vile criminal background a few years back. He also funds Phoenix Racing with his Phoenix Construction business and reportedly bought out the Florida panhandle government through Jeb Bush.
