QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on racing at Martinsville:

“Martinsville is definitely a place where anything can happen. It’s a really tough short track with plenty of beating and banging. Hopefully we can keep our Ford clean all race long and survive the chaos to be around at the end and get another solid finish for this Roush Fenway team.”
