QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Las Vegas:
“Las Vegas has always been a fun track to race on. We had a lot of success there in the XFINITY Series and have run decent there in the Cup car. I’m looking forward to getting there this weekend and see what gains we can make on this AdvoCare Ford after our run last week in Atlanta.”
