Recapping Talladega
Bayne race three-wide for position inside the top 10 throughout the final stage of Sunday afternoon’s MENCS race at Talladega Superspeedway before getting collected in a multi-car incident with 20 laps remaining, severely damaging the Roush Fenway Racing Ford and leading to a 37th-place finish.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Kansas:
“We’ll be ready to bounce back from Talladega this weekend in Kansas and get back to our consistent ways. We’ve had a really solid year going to this point, and I’m confident that we can continue that this weekend and unload with another fast Roush Fenway Ford in Kansas. I’m definitely looking forward to getting back there.”
