VMS Motorsports

Jim Bucher and the VMS Motorsports, HarmonHomes.com, Childish Concepts, The Agency Real Estate, ULTIMATE EARBUDS team headed out to Beaver Dam Saturday night for the LEgends National Qualifier race.

After a disappointing week last week, Bucher was itching to get back into the seat to redeem himself. Being a National Qualifier Race, track points did not line up the heat races, but a draw/re-draw format was used, putting Bucher in the last starting spot of his heat race.

The dry and dusty track, coupled with a very loose car only allowed Bucher to move up to 5th in his Heat race. The team tightened the car up and was ready for the A Main.

The re-draw placed Jim in the 6th starting spot for the A-Main though, which he would not take advantage of. At the green, between the dust and the 4 wide racing going into turn one, Bucher laid back to let things get settled in before making his move, falling back to 11th on the first lap. Dodging wrecks in front of him and keeping a cool head on the hot night allowed him to pick off cars one at a time. Jim was able to make it up to 4th position before sliding back one. Bucher was able to capture his first ever top 5 finish in an A Main with a 5th place finish.

Special thanks to Dominick for his help in the pits tonight.
