RFK Racing announced a multiyear contract extension with NASCAR Cup Series driver Chris Buescher on Tuesday.
Buescher, 33, has been driving the company's No. 17 Ford since the 2020 season.
He currently ranks seventh in the Cup Series standings with eight top-10 finishes through 16 races, including a runner-up effort at Talladega on April 26.
"RFK Racing has been home for most of my racing career, and that's something I don't take for granted," Buescher said in a team release. "I've grown up with this
organization, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together over the last several years. The direction we're heading, the people we have in place and the commitment throughout the company make me excited about the future. I'm grateful to Mr. Jack (Roush), Brad (Keselowski), Fenway Sports Group and everyone at RFK Racing for their belief in me. I'm looking forward to continuing to chase wins and championships together."
Buescher has recorded six wins since making his Cup Series debut in 2015, most recently at Watkins Glen in 2024.
"Chris has been part of this organization for most of his professional career, and there is a tremendous amount of pride in seeing what he has become," co-owner Jack Roush said. "He is an exceptional driver, but just as importantly, he is the kind of person who makes our organization stronger. His work ethic, intelligence and commitment to our success have earned the respect of everyone at RFK Racing, and we're proud that his story with us will continue."
Buescher's relationship with RFK Racing, previously known as Roush Fenway Racing, dates back to 2009 as a development driver before he began racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for them in 2011.
