Jade Buford and the No. 48 Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers team earned a 20th-place finish in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course.

Road-racing ace Jade Buford made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut on the Indianapolis Road Course last season driving the No. 07 Big Machine Distillery Chevrolet. The 2021 Rookie of the Year candidate battled inside the top 15 for several laps, ultimately finishing in the 14th position.

t might be Jade Buford’s first start at Watkins Glen International in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, but the Big Machine Racing driver has built quite the resume competing in IMSA and Pirelli World Challenge on the road course over the past several years.
