Buford’s Finish: 18th  

Jade Buford and the No. 48 Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers team earned their 11th top-20 finish of the season in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race. In his first start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Buford drove to an 18th-place result.

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

“New Hampshire was fun; it reminded me a lot of Phoenix, which I had hoped for going into the race. We had a pretty good car on Saturday, but over the course of the day, we just needed a little more long-run speed. We’ll keep building off what we learned and we’re just going to keep getting stronger from here.”
