Recapping Talladega

QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Kansas:
“We’ll be ready to bounce back from Talladega this weekend in Kansas and get back to our consistent ways. We’ve had a really solid year going to this point, and I’m confident that we can continue that this weekend and unload with another fast Roush Fenway Ford in Kansas. I’m definitely looking forward to getting back there.”
