QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing in Michigan:
“Michigan will be interesting this weekend. We’ve got the rules package we used in Indy here and the racing will definitely be something to keep an eye on. I’m looking forward to getting on the track on Friday with this AdvoCare Ford and seeing how our car will be. We got a top-10 here in the spring and hopefully we can build off that and improve our finish a couple of spots better on Sunday.”
