ADVANCE NOTES

Bayne at Richmond
Trevor Bayne will make his third NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Richmond this weekend.

In 10 career starts on tracks less than a mile in length in the NSCS, Bayne has recorded a best finish of fifth at Bristol Motor Speedway in April 2016.

In eight starts at Richmond in the XFINITY Series, Bayne recorded two top-five and three top-10 finishes. Bayne earned his best finish of third in the Sept. 2010 event after starting from the eighth position.

Matt Puccia at Richmond
Puccia will be atop the box for his 10th NSCS event at Richmond on Sunday. In nine previous races at the .750-Mile oval, Puccia recorded a best finish of ninth with Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle in Sept. 2012.

Recapping Bristol
Bayne recorded a fifth-place finish at Bristol on Sunday afternoon. Bayne ran inside the top 10 for much of the second-half of the 500-Lap race, and was able to utilize a late-race restart to record his first top-five finish of 2016.

Chase Standings
Bayne currently trails the 16th and final cutoff spot for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup by just 10 points after the first eight races of the 2016 season.

QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on racing at Richmond:
“We’re all pumped to get to Richmond this weekend. Coming off of last weekend and that top-five finish in Bristol, we are all excited to build off of that here on Sunday with the AdvoCare Ford. I’m very confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a great Roush Fenway Ford and that we can keep this momentum going and have another solid run.”
