QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on racing in Chicago:

“Chicago is a fun track to race on. It’s one of those tracks that lets you race on any of the grooves, which is what I like. We ran well there in the XFINITY Series and hopefully some of that can translate over to our AdvoCare Ford in the Cup Series this weekend.”
