STATESVILLE, N.C. (August 24, 2016) – Chris Buescher and Love’s Travel Stops will turn the clock back to 1981 – the year Love’s opened its first travel stop – for the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
Front Row Motorsports and Love’s unveiled the No. 34 team’s paint scheme for the Sept. 4 Sprint Cup Series race Wednesday on social media. The stripes replicate the look that was on the fuel canopies and the building’s façade at the company’s first travel stop, which opened in 1981 in Amarillo, Texas. Today Love’s has more than 390 locations in 40 states and employs more than 15,000 people. “The Darlington throwback weekend has become a pretty big deal, and it’s cool to have Love’s Travel Stops bring some of their history into the race weekend with their old colors,” said Buescher. “Darlington is my favorite track, and I can’t wait to get there and turn some laps in this special Love’s Ford Fusion.” The Darlington Raceway event will celebrate the decade spanning 1975 to 1984 at this year’s race with throwback paint schemes on all 40 entries. The Bojangles’ Southern 500 will air live on NBC Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. ET.

NSCS Michigan Starts: 1 Best Michigan Finish: 20th "I think for our camp at Front Row Motorsports, the lower the downforce we run, the better we are. And I think it’s on the Roush Fenway side as well. Our cars seem to like less downforce and be able to slide around a little bit more. I feel like it’s a place we can go and get some speed. We have an ARCA win there and ran really well there in the XFINITY car. It’s a track that’s extremely fast but very out of control. "I’m pretty excited to go back to Michigan. We made some big gains in the points at Bristol to get into the top 30, and now we just have to make sure we stay there. We've got to play a little defense but also be aggressive at the same time to make sure we're getting everything we can out of each of the next three races before the Chase cut-off." ### Contact: Shari Spiewak Front Row Motorsports office: 704-873-6445 x215 cell: 704-200-1779 sspiewak@frontrowmotorsports.com
 Chris Buescher • No. 34 Love's Travel Stops Ford
NSCS Bristol Starts: 2 Best Bristol Finish: 21st "We had good speed in our Love's Travel Stops Ford at Bristol earlier this year. I was pretty happy with where the car was throughout the weekend. It was probably our best practice session of the year, speed-wise. We ended up in the bottom lane for a lot of the late-race restarts, so it made for a bit of a tough finish after having better track position most of the day. "I do like going to Bristol. It is different than the old Bristol, but it's a lot of fun to drive. It's frustrating at times but still a good race. So, I'm excited to head back there. I feel like it's a place where we can definitely get a top-15 or even a top-10 for our Love's Ford Fusion and get some of those points we need. "Everybody loves racing under the lights. It's just a little bit different atmosphere. The fans really come out; they love it. It's one of those races that everyone talks about. It's got the hype around it that makes it a big deal." ### Contact: Shari Spiewak Front Row Motorsports office: 704-873-6445 x215 cell: 704-200-1779 sspiewak@frontrowmotorsports.com
 Chris Buescher • No. 34 CSX 'Play It Safe' Ford
NSCS Watkins Glen Starts: 1 Best Watkins Glen Finish: 37th "Obviously, we're excited to get to the race track with our CSX 'Play It Safe' Ford Fusion this weekend. We've got a win in our pocket and some points to gain to get into the Chase. We talked about it at the beginning of the season and the plan was always to try and make the Chase. That was the goal, so we’re that much closer now. We’ve got a hole to dig out of just from the superspeedway results, but we’re in a good spot and the cars have been getting faster each and every week. "I love Watkins Glen. We ran really well there in the XFINITY car. I actually ran there with Front Row Motorsports last year for the Cup race. We were really good in practice and qualified decent, and unfortunately we had a mechanical failure on Lap 1. It made for a little bit of a long day. But we had a lot of fun in practice. I felt like I had a good feel for it. A lot of the characteristics of the XFINITY car actually carried over to the Cup car, which I was pretty surprised about. I think this can be another very good weekend for our team." ### Contact: Shari Spiewak Front Row Motorsports office: 704-873-6445 x215 cell: 704-200-1779 sspiewak@frontrowmotorsports.com  Rookie Takes FRM to Victory Lane at Pocono
