ADVANCE NOTES

Bayne at Watkins Glen

Bayne makes his third career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENC) start at Watkins Glen International on Sunday afternoon.

Bayne earned a best finish of ninth in this event in 2016.

In five starts in the NASCAR XFINITY Series at the New York road course, Bayne recorded one top-five and three top-10s with a best finish of fifth coming in 2016.

In 18 combined starts on road courses in the MENCS and the NASCAR XFINITY Series, Bayne has scored one top-five and eight top-10s.

Matt Puccia at Watkins Glen

Puccia will be atop the box for his seventh MENCS event at The Glen on Sunday.  In six previous races, Puccia has recorded three top-10s with a best finish of sixth coming in the 2012 MENCS event with former driver Greg Biffle.

Homecoming King

This weekend’s MENCS race at Watkins Glen marks a homecoming for New York native Puccia, who hails from Watertown, N.Y., just under three hours away from the famed road course.

Recapping Pocono

Bayne battled a tight-handling condition throughout the MENCS event at Pocono Raceway, ultimately leading to a 20th-place finish.

QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on Watkins Glen:

“I’m ready to get back to Watkins Glen this weekend and see what we can do. We got a top-10 here last season and I have all the confidence we can have another solid run this weekend with our AdvoCare Ford. I know that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will have a great strategy in place and I know what I need to do to get the job done.”
