QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at the ROVAL:
“The ROVAL is going to be a wild one. After seeing how the testing played out, I think that staying out of trouble and not making mistakes will be the key. There isn’t a place on the track where you have time to let your guard down or make risk-free passes. We will have to be on our game the entire race. As far as car handling is concerned, I believe the exit of the inner loop into turn 1 of the oval will be crucial. If you can stay within reach of the car in front of you through the slow section, then turn 8 will be your chance to set up a pass on the oval. I look forward to the wild card and trying to get a great finish for our AdvoCare team this weekend.”
Recapping Richmond
Matt Kenseth fell behind with a pit road penalty and an ill-handling car to finish 25th last Saturday night at Richmond.
