He admitted that his #17 team did a great job and put in a fast #17 Ford for him as he was happy with the way he returned to the race track. He later expressed his disappointment at not securing a win in the end, as he should have made it happen in the final restart itself to go for the win.Buescher said:“This team did a great job and put a really fast Fifth Third Bank Mustang underneath me this weekend. What a way to return and come back to the race track, but I didn’t get the job done there at the end. I feel like we should have had the win and I didn’t get it. We were close, just needed more. I needed to make it happen on that restart and I didn’t.”After securing his first top-5 finish of the season, the Prosper, Texas native called it an awesome run and said:“If we can keep getting cars like this then a win will come. It was an awesome run, and I should be happy, but I am disappointed to be that close and not get it.”“Just didn’t get it done when it counted”: Chris BuescherSpeaking about his comeback, Chris Buescher said it was an awesome recovery compared to his Circuit of the Americas outing.
