ADVANCE NOTES

Bayne at Fontana
Bayne will make his third career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Auto Club Speedway this weekend.

Bayne has made 40 career NSCS starts on tracks two miles or greater in length, earning one victory, his first, in the 2011 Daytona 500.

Bayne previously raced at Fontana in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, making seven starts and recording three top-10 finishes, with an average finish of 11.3.

Bayne’s best finish of sixth at Fontana came in the March 2011 event after starting from the ninth position.

Recapping Phoenix
Bayne recorded a 23rd-place finish on Sunday afternoon at Phoenix International Raceway after battling a tight-handling condition for much of the 312-Lap event.

Matt Puccia at Fontana
Puccia will be atop the AdvoCare pit box for his fifth NSCS race at Fontana on Sunday. Puccia’s best finish at the two-mile oval is sixth twice (2012, 2013) with Roush Fenway teammate Greg Biffle.

QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on racing at Fontana:
“Fontana is a really fun track to race on. Its surface is really worn down and you can race all over the track. You’ll see guys glued to the bottom as well as right up against the outside wall. I feel good about this weekend and am confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) and my guys will give me a solid AdvoCare Ford Fusion on Sunday.”
