QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Chicago:
“Chicago is definitely a fun track to race on. You can run up by the wall if you want, or you can hug that white line on the bottom. It’s a place I’ve always enjoyed racing at. Hopefully we can unload a great Performance Plus Ford this weekend and work our way up front and contend for the win on Sunday.”
