James Buescher, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion of 2012 will be returning with Turner Motorsports (TMS) wheeling the No. 31 Chevrolet Silverado.
The team also announced that Buescher will also continue run in select Nationwide Series events in 2013.
Buescher has his sights set on becoming the first back-to-back Truck Series Champion and is running a minimum of fifteen races for new Turner Motorsports sponsor, Rheem Manufacturing Company.
Rheem is the only North American manufacturer that produces a comprehensive line of advanced, energy efficient heating, cooling and water heating solutions for homes and businesses throughout the world. A long time, loyal sponsor throughout NASCAR and other racing series, Rheem is one of the few sponsors in the sport today that has visited victory lane in each of the NASCAR's national series, including the Daytona 500.
Buescher broke out of the pack to record four wins in the Truck Series, 10 top-fives and 14 top-10's, en route to his and Turner Motorsports' first NASCAR Championship. Ironically he also won the Nationwide series' opening race at Daytona International Speedway in February before wining in the Truck Series.
"Last season was a dream come true for me. I had always dreamt of winning a NASCAR championship. I am most excited about the opportunity to compete to become the first driver to win the NCWTS championship in back-to-back seasons. I look forward to working with the entire Turner Motorsports organization and Rheem on our quest to keep the NCWTS championship at Turner Motorsports "said Buescher.
"Everyone at Turner Motorsports is excited to have James [Buescher] return to Turner Motorsports and the seat of the No. 31 NCWTS ride. And, to have a company like Rheem with such a long standing relationship in the sport of NASCAR come on board is an honor. To have Rheem join us is just the icing on the cake," said Turner Motorsports team owner, Steve Turner.
The team also announced in addition to Buescher returning to the NCWTS, 2012 Champion crew chief, Michael Shelton will return to his previous role serving as Crew Chief for Buescher and the No. 31 Rheem Chevy Silverado in 2013.
