QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on All-Star Weekend:
“This is always a fun weekend and such a special event. We were able to race our way into the All-Race Race last year and ran solidly all night long, and I’m very confident that we can do that again this year with our AdvoCare Ford. We’ve run really well all season long on the mile-and-a-half tracks and have had some good speed. I’m ready to go and race our way into the big show on Saturday night.”
