QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Phoenix:
“We were really consistent at Phoenix in the XFINITY Series these last couple of years. Hopefully that past success can lead to good things with the Cup car this weekend. I’m confident that (crew chief) Bob (Osborne) and everyone on this AdvoCare team will give me a strong car this weekend. I have some experience racing a Cup car at Phoenix. I raced there once before with the Wood Brothers in 2011, but we weren’t able to really run many laps. I’m looking forward to getting there this weekend and seeing how we will run.”
