Bayne on racing at Texas:

“Texas is a special place for me. It’s where I got my first victory in the XFINITY Series and where I made my first Sprint Cup start. I’ve always loved racing here. I’m ready to get back to the track after this past weekend off. It was a great Easter, but I want to get back in that AdvoCare Ford and get us the best finish possible this weekend.”
