00:00The lights are off on the Toyota Camry Pacecar.
00:11The go bowling at the Glen is ready to roar into life.
00:14It's time to bring the action at one of the best road courses in the world.
00:18Ross Chastain, who missed out on making the playoffs, and he might be able to help himself
00:23and his teammates.
00:24We're racing on a road course in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
00:25Let's go.
00:26Here is the Glen.
00:28Good start from Chastain.
00:29Shane Van Gisburg right behind him.
00:30Truex coming on the outside with Bowman as well.
00:31Great start, Chastain.
00:32Give that spot to Cendric.
00:33Now they wreck.
00:34Christopher Bale out of the bus stop.
00:35Several other cars involved.
00:36Looks like Kyle Busch is in there as well as a few others.
00:37Everybody should be able to drive away, but the Busch car is going backwards headed down
00:38the bus stop.
00:39And Denny Hamlin involved in that as well.

08:30As far as progressive mud cars go right now they're in my MASA.
08:36McDow salah in that bright green car on the inside.
08:40Mike Bagley get ready.
08:41Here they come.
08:42Ross Chastain has already gotten away SVG letting it fly in the way outside.
08:47Trying to hang on to second but here comes Michael McDowell in that 34 car McDowell's
08:50got to pump the brakes just a tad.
08:5140 total, 30 green.
08:54And for sure, you're starting to see him go away.
08:57But in town, they start to lose too much track position
08:59as Butcher cleans Chastain.
09:01What a great move.
09:02And Chastain's time at the front has come to an end.
09:05Ross has led more laps here today
09:07than his entire road course career.
09:10That's right, you're like, hey, man.
09:11Might have another one here.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Might have another one here.
09:14Dylan is making, oh, and he does give him one.
09:17Wow.
09:18I think there was something wrong with the 20.
09:19He was so slow.
09:20He was trying to come to pit road, Steve.
09:22He was trying to come to pit road that time.
09:24Bell trying to come to pit road.
09:25The 3 to his right side.
09:27And the 3's not going to lift and let him across.
09:29The 20 gets spun out, gets to pit road now
09:32to the service of his crew, Marty.
09:34That's why we're seeing cars on pit road kind of gambling
09:36that this tire will come off and end up in a spot
09:39where the caution has to be waived.
09:40He's coming down the back stretch in front of Jeff.
09:44Bad luck for your son, but the left rear so far staying on.
09:47So far it stayed on.
09:49Lots of debris coming off of it.
09:51I think NASCAR is going to be putting a spot here.
09:54Leader coming right behind him.
09:57Rubber on the racetrack.
09:59Here comes Chris Fuscher.
10:00Here comes SVG.
10:04The main tire is still on the car, though.
10:06Will it come off right?
10:07There's the caution.
10:08Oh, and what a break for the two cars that were on pit road.
10:12Keselowski and Logano jumped to pit road,
10:15assuming there would be a yellow.
10:16They hit a yellow because of that tire debris.
10:19And let's get ready to go.
10:21How's it going to work out?
10:22Who's going to behave themselves?
10:24Who's not?
10:24Who's got the speed?
10:26Who's got the better tires?
10:28Time to bring the action at the Glen.
10:30Let's go.
10:38Chris Fuscher with an excellent placement of his car,
10:41but it opens up that inside line baggie to SVG.
10:44SVG had an open lane, but he wasn't
10:46close enough to capitalize.
10:48Instead, it's Chris Fuscher.
10:49He'll punch his way through to the lead.
10:51Kosovar now second.
10:53SVG is third.
10:55They're going to stack them up double wide for fourth.
10:57A couple of white and blue cars there at the top of your screen,
11:00Chastain and Briscoe.
11:02And there's trouble further back.
11:04William Byron gets launched up onto the retaining wall.
11:07Brad Keselowski's involved.
11:09Everybody else will find their way through,
11:11but William Byron up and in the air
11:14with Keselowski pinned underneath.
11:17My goodness.
11:18The defending race winner, William Byron.
11:21Playoff driver, William Byron.
11:23Playoff driver, Brad Keselowski.
11:26Here it is, the orange and blue car side by side with Logano.
11:30Oh, Logano kind of gets into the 6 or vice versa,
11:33but either way, man, what a hit for the 24.
11:39It was super tight.
11:40That is such a funnel through there.
11:43There was nothing between it.
11:44Here's the view from Tyler Redding.
11:45Look up ahead.
11:49Very, very fortunate for the 24.
11:53The double height of the Armco there.
11:55The extra third layer, not just a normal two-height Armco,
11:59but a triple-height Armco.
12:01You see all the way at the top of it.
12:03That gets very, very scary if he gets above that Armco
12:06into the catch fence.
12:07Fortunately, not the case.
12:09It's so hard to tell.
12:11We see the beating and banging.
12:12I don't know who's in the appropriate lane.
12:15You said narrow and S's.
12:17It's just a funnel, right?
12:19It's just a tunnel up there.
12:20And by the way, that section is blind
12:22when you're coming up there and coming around to the right.
12:24And William had just gone to the left of Logano.
12:26Logano kind of got hung up a little bit on Brad Keselowski.
12:29And it all unfolded, unfortunately.
12:35The playoff drivers are wounded.
12:36Who's going to get the best result?
12:38And who is going to win this one?
12:41Waiting for the green.
12:42One, green, green, green.
12:45Shane Van Gisbergen getting Buescher a little bit of a bump.
12:48And it's hurt him.
12:49Because they open up that gap.
12:50He's going to have to go deep on the brakes.
12:52He's got Chastain on his outside.
12:55Mike Bagley, they're coming to you.
12:57Chris Buescher breaks away with a lead again.
12:59Joseph Arndt trying to hang on to second.
13:00He'll chop off Shane Van Gisbergen.
13:03But here's SVG on the attack.
13:05He'll look to the outside for a moment.
13:07And there's trouble further back.
13:09Tyler Reddick's around.
13:10Kyle Busch is involved.
13:12That's Reddick in the 45.
13:14And Busch in the eight, trying to right their cars.
13:17Trouble mid-pack on back, as everybody in front of them
13:20was able to escape.
13:22We're going to overtime.
13:2412th race of this 2024 season that
13:27has had at least one overtime.
13:29This overtime presented by Credit One Bank.
13:31Buescher on the left.
13:32Joseph Arndt on the right.
13:34SVG on the inside, alongside Russ Chastain.
13:37Here we go.
13:38Do we finish it off?
13:41Van Gisbergen tries to unsettle Buescher.
13:43Puts it on the inside.
13:44Gets on the gas.
13:45It's Van Gisbergen and Buescher, side by side to you, Mike.
13:49Wheel to wheel for the lead.
13:51Coming to the S's, and it's SVG.
13:53He'll power past Buescher and go to the lead.
13:55Buescher now to second.
13:57Third now will be Carson Husavar, Chastain in fourth.
14:01But SVG, your new leader in NASCAR overtime.
14:03Top four breakaway.
14:05Can Chris Buescher get it regathered
14:07and try to come back for a charge at Shane Van Gisbergen?
14:10He gets into the bus stop well.
14:13The top two have started to squirt away from the field.
14:16Now Buescher sideways, hustling that 17 car as he tries to track down Shane Van Gisbergen
14:21through the carousel.
14:22Top two, breaking away out of five.
14:23It was a little bit of contact from SVG to the 17 that presented this opportunity for
14:29the lead.
14:30If Buescher can catch him, he has a permission slip now to use the same tactic.
14:35But I don't think he can.
14:36I think SVG has the fastest race car.
14:41SVG shows his experience.
14:42One lap to go to figure out seven corners at the glen to try to stay clear of Chris
14:49Buescher.
14:50The battle on for third behind with Chastain and Husavar.
14:53No matter what happens on this lap, the race will be determined.
15:00Do you know what?
15:02If you go back to 2012, a former NASCAR driver by the name of Marcus Ambrose drove to a spectacular
15:11victory being hounded by Brad Keselowski.
15:14Brad Keselowski is one of the co-owners of the team of the car doing the chasing.
15:18Chris Buescher is hounding down Shane Van Gisbergen who happens to be mentored by Marcus
15:24Ambrose.
15:25Marcus will be back in Australia watching this.
15:26And it's Shane of Keselowski and Ambrose all over again.
15:27Buescher gets on the inside of SVG.
15:28It says you pushed me around earlier.
15:29I'm going to give it back.
15:30Incredible on this final lap.
15:31Van Gisbergen's only got one real shot left at it.
15:32Maybe two.
15:33Thinks about it into turn six.
15:34Did Buescher save the best to last?
15:35Or has Van Gisbergen got a little payback?
15:36He gets wide.
15:37He loses it almost.
15:38He has to gather it up, but he can't do it.
15:59Chris Buescher wins at the Glen in the most spectacular style.
16:07What did we just see?
16:09I'm so proud of you, man.
16:10So proud of you.
16:11That was awesome.
16:12Great job, guys.
16:13Great job.
16:14Screw this thing.
16:15Screw it.
16:16Ha ha.
16:17The pain of missing the playoffs has just been eased with a phenomenal victory at the Glen
16:25by Chris Buescher.
16:27It was on from this point.
16:31Both drivers did incredibly well, but this is where Buescher got the run.
16:35Courtesy of an unforced error from SVG.
16:39Rarely do we see it, but that's exactly what happened.
16:4216, too much speed into the bus stop.
16:44Loses the back of the car.
16:46The 16, slight contact.
16:48Look at it again.
16:49Lee, he turns in okay, but so much speed, he loses the rear, turning back to the left
16:54right there.
16:55And the 17 capitalizes and finds a way to the right of the 16.
17:00This contact right here is NASCAR racing at its finest.
