ADVANCE NOTES

Bayne at Michigan

Trevor Bayne will make his 12th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Michigan this weekend.

In 11 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 11th NSCS event at Michigan on Sunday.  In 10 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 Bristol

Bayne battled both the weather conditions and the competition in the rain-marred NSCS race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon to record a 12th-place finish.

QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on Michigan:

“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Michigan this weekend. It’s always special to race up here in (team owner) Jack (Roush) and Ford’s backyard. It definitely gives you some extra motivation to get all you can out of the car. I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a solid AdvoCare Ford that will let us make some moves and hopefully contend for the win come race end.”
