Chris Buescher: Starting from rear Sunday

Buescher is starting from the rear in Sunday's Cup Series race at COTA due to unapproved adjustments with his No. 17 Ford, Jim Utter of Motorsport.com reports.

Analysis:

Nearly a quarter of the field is heading to the rear for unapproved adjustments as Buescher is one of nine drivers to be penalized. He qualified for the 28th position and was already in an undesirable starting spot, so him starting in the rear shouldn't make a major difference on where he would've ended up.
