ADVANCE NOTES

Bayne at Michigan

Trevor Bayne will make his 11th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Michigan this weekend.

In 10 previous starts at the two-mile oval, Bayne has recorded one top-10 finish, a ninth in the June 2015 event.

In five starts in the NASCAR XFINITY Series in the Motor City, Bayne earned two top-five and two top-10 finishes, with a best finish of fifth twice in 2011 and 2013.

Matt Puccia at Michigan

Puccia will be atop the box for his 10th NSCS event at Michigan on Sunday.  In nine previous races, Puccia has recorded two wins, three top-fives and five top-10s.

Puccia’s two wins came in consecutive races in Aug. 2012 and June 2013 with Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle.

Recapping Pocono

Bayne ran inside the top 15 for much of the second-half of Monday afternoon’s rain postponed NSCS event at Pocono Raceway before taking the checkered flag in the 13th position.

Chase Standings

Bayne trails the 16th and final position in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship standings by 19 points.

QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on Michigan:

“Michigan is always a special place to race for us since it is in (team owner) Jack (Roush) and Ford’s backyard. It really gives you some extra motivation to go out there and get the job done. I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a solid AdvoCare Ford that will let us get up front and make some noise come Sunday afternoon.”
