Recapping Daytona

AdvoCare’s 25th Anniversary
Bayne’s February races will feature the AdvoCare car sporting a special paint scheme with AdvoCare’s 25th anniversary logo on the hood to mark the celebration of AdvoCare’s founding in February 1993.

QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Atlanta:
“This weekend will show if we made any gains on our intermediate program over the off-season. Atlanta is a fast, worn out track that has a ton of character. You can really race all around the track. If you want to run by the wall you can and if you want to run right down on the white line you can. We had a strong finish at Daytona so hopefully we can keep it going and have another solid run this weekend at Atlanta.”
