Race 26 of 33: Food City 300

Track: Bristol Motor Speedway

Buford’s Finish: 27th 

Jade Buford and Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers team battled through a grueling 300 laps at Bristol Motor Speedway to earn a 27th-place finish. After rolling off the grid from the 30th position in his first NASCAR Xfinity Series start at “The Last Great Colosseum”, the rookie driver held his own in one of the toughest tracks on the circuit, bringing the No. 48 home with all four fenders on it following the caution-filled race.

Jade Buford, driver of the No. 48 Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers Chevrolet:

“I’ve been looking forward to coming to this track for a long time and it definitely didn’t disappoint. This was a tough race and we didn’t exactly get the finish we wanted, but we were able to get some good notes and I learned a lot as a driver. I’m ready to get back here next year and see what we can do.”
