Buescher, who has won three of the last four races at Toledo, won the rain-delayed Federated Car Care 200 leading 53 of 206 race laps. It was also his third win in the last four ARCA Series events. 

The season-ending race at Toledo Speedway attracted 42 drivers to battle it out on the 1/2-mile track.

In qualifying, Tom Hessert captured the pole for the race with a top time of 16.080 seconds (111.940 mph). Ty Dillon was second followed by Grant Enfinger, Chris Buescher and Chrissy Wallace. More

When it was all over, the 18-year-old driver had captured the coveted award as the highest finisher in the 7-race challenge on paved mile (or longer) tracks on the ARCA Series schedule. 

Dillon looked to be well on his way to winning the award after leading 76 of the first 81 laps in the final challenge race at Kansas before disaster struck when he came in contact with a lapped car.

The contact would result in a disappointing seventh place finish for the 2011 ARCA Series champion. Buescher would take advantage of the misfortune and finish second to give him a 25-point win over Dillon. More

The young Arizona driver took advantage of late-race contact between then race leader, Ty Dillon, and a lapped car.

Dillon had led 76 of 81 laps up to that point and looked to be on his way to his eighth win of the season before disaster struck. More

Heavy rain pushed the Pennsylvania ARCA 125 from its Saturday afternoon scheduled start to early Sunday morning. But that didn't dampen the efforts of 19-year-old Ty Dillon.

In fact, it was so long ago that Thursday's Ansell Protective Gloves 200 race turned out to be a duel between a pair of teenage drivers who weren't even born the last time the series raced at the "other" famous Indy track. 

The series' return to Indianapolis had 19-year-old Ty Dillon battling 17-year-old Ryan Blaney for 200 laps and then adding to the excitement, the race was extended three more laps due to a late-race caution. More
