QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Dover:
“Dover is a really fun track to race on. It’s fast and high-banked. I always liked racing here in the XFINITY Series and we had some good success. I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a great AdvoCare Ford this weekend that will let us run up front and contend for a victory.”
