Recapping Texas
Bayne took the green flag from 26th and battled a loose-handling AdvoCare Ford for much of the rain-marred NSCS event at Texas Motor Speedway. He was ultimately scored with a 30th-place finish after rain forced NASCAR to call the race official shy of the scheduled distance.
Matt Puccia at Phoenix
Puccia will call his 11th NSCS race at Phoenix on Sunday. Puccia’s best finish is third with Roush Fenway teammate Greg Biffle in the 2012 event at the Arizona track.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Phoenix:
“Phoenix is definitely a challenging track. It’s always raced more like a short-track than it does a one-mile track. I’m looking forward to seeing what we will have there this weekend with our AdvoCare Ford as we hope to really end this season on a strong note and see what we can learn this weekend that will help us when we come back here in 2017.”
