Roush to move Xfinity champ Buescher up to Cup

Chris Buescher

Even in the moments Chris Buescher was celebrating his NASCAR XFINITY Series title Saturday night, his team owner Jack Roush was suggesting that the newly-crowned champion might end up in the Sprint Cup Series in 2016.

The only question seemed to be whether it would be a full-time ride or a part-time gig.

"We're still not sure what his arrangement is going to be next year,'' Roush said. "He will be involved in a Cup car to some extent, but whether it's a partâ€'time program or a full program, we're still in the midst of finalizing the conditions today. We've got a number of possibilities, but we're not ready to announce that today."
